When Majestic 1st started out at the end of the 70's, maybe '79, they bought a defunct Heron Petrol Service station on the way into Oxford city, on one of the bypass routes, and converted it to a very basic box stacking mini warehouse. Praps Ba only, may remember buying fuel at Heron. Gerald Ronson's chain of Heron S. stations started to fall over from '79 onwards. Loan gearing I think + hykes in the rates, and falling margin.

Rings a little bell. I think there was one en route to Baff. Ronson was bailed out by the likes of Gates & Murdoch !!
