Interesting, isn't it, now that we have Google Maps:

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.3861404,-2.3651191,3a,75y,215.45h,95.69t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sjMSi8g0yARzmfvL87Jeg2w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1

That's 4 Brock Street there. As you can see, CLEARly (oh-ho!) a set of office units to house "300" people. Oh wait, it isn't.

Unless of course, it was back in 1998 and they've knocked it down and built that terrribly modern building there instead. Oh wait, they haven't.

(Just in case you're wondering what the hell I'm on about, which I realise is often the case, this is about St*t C*pbell insisting that he and Rocketsh*p "residing" at this address is coincidence - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/comp.sys.sinclair/1IYQEKnxSdo/cPyfBiMG-MUJ )

Blimey, deKay. You don't let something go, do you?

But, given the prominence to which Campbell has risen over the last few
years outside of computery-gamey circles, anything that gives his
credibility a much-needed boot to the fleshy parts is perfectly fine by
me.

I hadn't hung onto it as such. Something I was reading (not about SC) made me
think - hang on, SC *was* Rocketsh*p, right? So I checked, and found this
thread. And thought, we've Google Maps now...

Do you reckon that's enough evidence? Norman McIntosh might be some bloke working from the town house at Brock Street. It does have five floors after all. It might just be a complete coincidence - though one that stretches the bounds of all credibility - that Stuart didn't know about Norman's dodgy CDs. 

I'm still trying to work out why Stuart would call it a "huge block of rented office units". But I'm sure there's some kind of logical reason for that.

Incidentally, do you know if Damian Burke still happens to be posting elsewhere? I'd quite like to have a chat with him.
