A bit of googling comes up with some broken links to copies of Amiga
Shopper, but it's possible to find manipulate them to find references
to "Dlskovery PD, 108 The Avenue, Clayton, Bradford, West Yorkshire
BD14 6SJ."

Knowing the Post Office's penchant for allocating the postcode of a PO
Box as close as possible to the post code of the owner, I'd guess that
this is the outfit.

I visited Pace in the 1980s, (to sell them OBBS) and whilst I cannot
remember the address, that doesn't look like the area they were in at
the time.
