I dont drink alcohol, no sugary drinks, no fast food (McD, Pret etc), no processed food or ready made meals.
The rest of my body is fine (except chin area).
The stupid pot belly makes me suck in my stomach which in turn leads to a cramped/hunched shoulder posture which in turn...
What am I doing wrong, what should I be doing?

All good advice - particularly on the bread!
But you need to exercise the gut area as well.
It's the only part of your body that isn't directly connected to bone and as we get older, the muscles that keep everything in place slacken which pulls you forward which accentuates the problem - a particular problem in taller men (See Jeremy Clarkson for more information - the guy's not fat but his belly is trying to escape).
Walking and diet will shed any excess fat. Core and Back exercise will tidy everything up.

Is there a particular exercise I could do at home/in the office?

I hope Stevie doesn't mind me answering, but you could try a ten minute round-the-houses every day. Is there a particular exercise I could do at home/in the office?
I do a minute of situps, crunches, ankle taps, v-sits and oblique twists twice. A simple ten minute routine, that has done wonders for my posture.
