Question for MK residents

Django x2 · 21 Oct 2015 at 20:39

Where the douche is the 3 shop in MK? Google (and their website) says the intu centre, but I wandered around there like a right gorm this evening and couldn't find it.....

they have really cool store finders there

you should have used those

Erm, It's not in the Intu Centre, it's next door in The Centre:MK.

Two different "malls".

134, Midsummer Arcade, intu Milton Keynes, The Centre:MK, Milton Keynes MK9 3GB

01908 606487.

Did you , erm, think about asking anyone in the area while you were there?

Edit: Not sorry for being snarky, I'm practising being a douche bag in time for Xmas.

It was late, about 6:55pm and practically no one around.

You'll note the bit about it being located in "intu'

And yes, I did use the store finder, so you'll forgive me for it telling me it was here

That's right, in "intu".

So, as it now appears that I'm not worse than you lot, can someone who actually knows where it is, tell me what it's next to / landmark?

Seriously, what I've already told you is 100% correct:

http://www.thecentremk.com/Store-Finder#Map=0

Find it on there, IN THE BUILDING NEXT DOOR TO INTU.

Which is fine, but as I'm not an MK resident, just visiting, you'll forgive for following the directions on their websites, and Google's

paradigm · 21 Oct 2015 at 21:31

Three's website makes absolutely no mention of the store being in the Intu Centre either. The map drop-pin is slightly off, but the address is correct. Also Intu's website makes no mention of a Three store, whereas Centre:MK's does.

I'm not an MK resident either, but have been to Centre:MK before.

Isn't it in the "new" bit opposite Debenhams? Or is that the O2 store and 3 is where virgin (NOT the mega store) used to be?

Both the screenies have the address of the place, clearly stating "The Center:MK" at the "Midsummer Arcade"?

Frozennova · 21 Oct 2015 at 21:44

And both the drop pins, and directions (navigation) don't take you there. But thanks

Its where Frozennova has shown in the image.

The intu part has an O2 shop but not a Three one.

The map on the store finder looks like it is pointing to the Carphone Warehouse store.

Are you one of these fellows who follows their Sat Nav through deep flood water, onto railway tracks and over cliff tops?

Django x2 · 22 Oct 2015 at 00:25

Are you one of those people that when Google (and the 3 website) show you a map, think "oh, no, it's not going to be where Google says it is"?

Even a blagger man with a ton of money can't find a three shop, whatever next :eek:

Yes, not there so I used the three store locator which told me next to Vodafone, in intu.. After which time, it was closed anyway.

You didn't ring the "located in intu" bit.

I do love this forum, genuinely asking for help and some 9 year olds with life experience swing to my rescue. Let the next reply be from someone who has never been lost or made a mistake and we'll see how much further this thread goes.

why did you not just ask people while you were there, "hey excuse me do you know where the 3 shop is" ?

Have you been in intu after 6.30pm? If I'd strolled through to me centre I would have had more luck. I did ask a maintenance guy but he said he had no idea. As I say, by this time, it was likely closed
