Morrisons is trying to fix their sign after a storm caused damage.

In the small town of Wales, a peculiar sight caught the attention of passersby. A weathered sign belonging to the local Morrisons supermarket was seen with missing letters, displaying the phrase "More Reasons to Shop at Morons." Now, that doesn't quite have the same ring to it as a typical supermarket slogan, does it? However, the significance of this mistake goes deeper than just a simple spelling error.

As Storm Darragh unleashed its fury on the country, the coastal town of Aberystwyth was not spared from its wrath. The strong winds, reaching up to 90mph, wreaked havoc on the town, including one unfortunate Morrisons branch. Joshua Jones, a 26-year-old local, couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that the R, I, and S letters of the store's sign had been blown away by the fierce gusts. But what caught his attention even more was the word "Morons," a term that has a very different meaning in Welsh.

Joshua couldn't help but laugh at the irony of the situation. In Welsh, "Morons" actually refers to a single carrot, while "moron" is the plural version. So, technically, anyone who has ever been called a "moron" has been compared to a bunch of carrots in Welsh. It's quite comical to think about, isn't it? Even Morrisons themselves couldn't help but see the humor in the situation, stating that it's quite fitting for a fresh food retailer to be called "carrots."

Social media was quick to catch on to the mishap, with some making puns about the sign "losing its ris," a play on the slang word "rizz," meaning charisma. But while the storm may have passed, its effects are still lingering. The Met Office issued a rare red weather warning, causing widespread chaos and destruction in South and West Wales, as well as Southeast England.

Tragically, two lives were lost due to the storm's impact, with floods, landslides, fallen trees, road accidents, and power outages affecting the area. Even now, over 17,000 homes and businesses are still without power, and numerous flood warnings and alerts remain in place. Thankfully, Joshua was not heavily affected by the storm, though his workplace, a local cocktail bar, was forced to close for the day. Others in the community were not as fortunate, with many living on the seafront experiencing the wild and unpredictable nature of Storm Darragh firsthand.
