It has a 531c sticker on the seat tube like #11 on that guide and 531 shield stickers on the fork blades.
So it sounds like the consensus here is this is a circa '83 frame (if the decal is original). I'm sure sending the serial to Mercian would solve the mystery. We've just been lazy.
East Hill - We're not out on the eastside much. You might see this bike out on Chilly Hilly if the weather looks iffy though. She rode STP on it in 2005, and it also does commuting duty so you might see it out and about. It's pretty hard to miss.
