[Talk-GB] Morrisons Daily/McColl's website

[Robert Whittaker (OSM lists)]

Given the branding is "Morrisons", the operational details may go
unnoticed by many (both mappers and data users). So I think it would
be better to go with the Morrison's site as the main website=* tag.
It's more verifiable on the ground, and it's easier for tools and
mappers to check the website URL matches the brand of the store, and
flag any inconsistent changes later on.
