About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Morrisons with a truckload of gas cans. As he unloaded, an old man in a tweed jacket approached and asked if he could help carry some jugs inside. The driver nodded, noticing nothing unusual until they reached the back room, where shelves seemed to hum softly. As they carried on, the old man started humming along with the shelves, which grew louder and more tuneful. Confused but curious, the driver glanced around just as the old man whispered, ‘It’s Morrisons’ secret karaoke night!’ They both burst out laughing, realizing it was just another friendly local tradition.

2. A neighbor stopped by one morning with an armful of newspapers and a curious look on her face. ‘Did you hear?’ she asked, pointing towards the pumps. ‘Every time someone fills their tank here, they get exactly three songs on the radio!’ Curious, a regular pulled up and listened intently as his tank filled. Three perfect pop hits blasted out, making him grin from ear to ear. Word spread quickly, and soon Morrisons was known for its musical fueling experience. Even the grumpiest delivery driver hummed along while filling up.

3. One day, while filling up at Morrisons, a regular noticed something odd in the pump nozzle. It looked like a tiny plastic dinosaur, perfectly camouflaged among the metal fittings. Curious, he picked it up and showed his friend, who laughed so hard he almost spilled gas on himself. Turns out, it was just an old toy from a kid’s lost bag. Since then, whenever someone sees that dinosaur, they joke about ‘fueling up with fossil fuels today!’

4. At dawn, a delivery driver approached Morrisons with a full tanker. As he unlocked the gate, he heard a soft humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw rows of glowing pumpkins, their lights casting eerie shadows on the walls. Startled, he slammed the door shut and raced back to his truck. Later that day, when everyone gathered for tea, it turned out those ‘pumpkins’ were just Halloween decorations from the neighboring house. A regular joke among them now.
