      i phoned through an order for some metal to a local dealer. After a few days they phoned back to say it was in so of I toddled to the industrial estate to pick it up. I just could not find the place. I then phoned them up to ask how to find them, to which I got the answer " opposite ZZZZ there are three units, the first is YYYY we are the middle one next to them." So we find ZZZZ and sure enough opposite them is YYYY, the next big box is some one else, err no, round the block again. I then went down YYYY's entrance and there were another two shuttered entrances, both with a reception door. So I went into the first door into a foyer and rang the bell, while I was waiting I read the notices on the notice board and found out that I had come to correct place.

      Point to be learn't I guess its because of thievery that these places might like to keep a low profile, so phone up to get the exact location (my sat nav. was no use). I had asked some locals where they were and even they did not know.

          Had the same a couple of years ago with a smaller but well known machine tool supplier. Actual visitors are rare and if I hadn't phoned to check he had the part in stock he said he would have been at lunch. Small unlabelled door in a very run down railway arches industrial corner. He quite liked the opportunity to talk to a customer,

          Must get a bit lonely in that kind of set-up. Even somewhere like Chronos who have several staff is a bit restricted for social interaction unlike a regular shop with continuous flow of people. So different from my situation with 8 team members in this bay of desks and 80 within earshot in the open plan.

            We appreciate your skill in managing to sneak onto the forum while they are not looking
