So I went for a long drive today and decided to stop off in Stoke on Trent to try and find OcUK...

The above map courtesy of google maps illustrates me taking a right turn into Imex Business Park after leaving the motorway a few minutes back. I took a right again and obviously this was wrong. So I went left instead later and saw various warehouses including Seddon/Feddon?...anyway, I couldn't find OcUK.

:confused:
 
In the Imex park, there's a big warehouse/units type building with a tunnel/road running right through the middle of it. OcUK is in there.
 
I guess all those wiggles in your line is you swerving around the road rubbernecking all over looking for the place.
 
I checked every sideroad and couldn't find the place! Most of the warehouses had a big company sign but does OcUK have one?

No, there's a little sign with numbers and all the companies there. Took me a while to find it but I got there :cool:
 
I remember the first time I went to find it. Took ages lol.

As people have said, its inside the big warehouse type building in a sort of tunnel/road which runs through it. Small door with an even smaller sign above that says Overclockers UK (iirc its been a little while since).
 
I should go into OcUK, bang my fist on the desk and say

"I is I! Cleanbluesky!"

Wouldn't do much, but would make me feel like JohnnyBigBalls. Coming to think of it, I could just go to Borders during my lunch and do it.
 
There's a little sign outside with all their This Week Only offers too. There's another computer store a couple of doors down too, bit cheeky I thought! (unless it's gone, I've not been to OcUK shop since easter)
 
Turn into Ormonde St, off Duke St, and keep going at the end to enter the 'tunnel' that goes through the warehouse. About half the way down on the right is the OcUK office.

Nope, what made you believe that?

Well, thanks you very much guys. This tunnel business is surprising as the only one I noticed was the one when I turned right on the map above to meet a dead end. I saw that computer store, Dave. Still there with huge posters advertising CD/DVD media, monitors etc - opposite the end of the road.

Cheek of it all! And to top it off, it's more expensive than OcUK :D
 
I went once and also had problems. From getting off the motorway it took us about two hours to find it. :o We was going around in circles lol and only eventually found it by asking loads of random people how to get there.
