About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver unloaded crates in the back of Asda, he swore he heard someone humming along with the beeping of the forklift. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old lady pushing a shopping cart, gently singing along to the rhythm of the lift truck. ‘I always shop here,’ she smiled, ‘and this forklift reminds me of my late husband’s favorite song.’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just another quirky Asda moment.

2. One day, an announcement crackled over Asda’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received our latest shipment of talking bananas. Please keep your shopping baskets away from them.’ A regular customer, Mr. Jenkins, decided to investigate and approached one of the bananas with a polite inquiry: 'Excuse me, sir, do you speak Mandarin?' The banana nodded enthusiastically and started listing ingredients for his favorite curry recipe. By the end of the day, half of Asda's customers were making exotic dishes while humming tropical tunes.

3. In the dead of night, when Asda’s fluorescent lights glowed eerily bright, a security guard noticed something peculiar. A shopping cart slowly rolled down aisle seven, its wheels clicking softly against the linoleum floor. Curious but cautious, he followed the cart around corners and between shelves until it stopped in front of the dairy section. To his surprise, an old milk bottle whispered, 'Gotcha!' It was just an errant employee playing a prank. The guard shook his head, smiling, as he pushed the cart back into circulation.

4. At dawn, while customers were still dozing, a strange humming filled Asda's aisles. No one could identify its source. Suddenly, an old lady in the dairy section exclaimed, 'Why, that's just my vacuum cleaner!' And indeed, it was—a stray appliance that had been left overnight by a forgetful neighbor. The humming ceased as quickly as it started, and everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had all been a harmless mix-up.
