I used to take regulary drive between Coventry (south east of Birmingham) and north London.
I would take the A45 from Coventry to (bypass) Rugby. Here it becomes the M45 access motorway heading south to merge with the M1 motorway. Just a mile of two after the M1/M45 interchange there is the Watford Gap services. It's approximately located in the Daventry/Northampton area.
It must be at least 30-40 miles south of Brum.
(Does anyone remember the TV programme "North of Watford"? I think it used to be on London Weekend Television and maybe Danny Baker was in it?)

So Google Earth was wrong, You and Sallyanne were right, and I was suckered
