Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

I've had their song in my head all day, so I just thought that I'd burden the rest of you with it too :)

"Come on over to my place
Hey you, we're having a Wimpy
We'll be grillin', choppin' and fillin'
Oh won't you come on over tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

For gods sake dont be mentioning "Whimpy"....tucs couldnt handle the competition factor

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

Ok....Im taking a wild guess that Whimpy's is a restaurant in the states?

What kind of food do they serve?

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

I'm taking a wild guess that you're not British at all :confused:

Or maybe Wimpy was only in some parts of the UK?

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

Actually "Wimpy" was/is a UK burger chain and light years better than a McDonalds. They were clever enough to actually slightly toast the stale buns instead of just dishing them out .

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

Well Im 50% irish and 50% polish - does that count for anything? ;)

The only whimpy I know was popeye's friend! :D

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

Oh, and they served food on plates with knives and forks - a bit like steak and shake, except classier :)

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

true and they also serated the edges of the sausages to give them a kind of "Frilly" appearance.

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

We had them down south - they used to do a frankfurter sausage called a 'Bender' ...which is possibly why no-one ever wanted one in their mouth.

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

Enter rushman stage right :rolleyes:

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

That's the one, it was a frankfurter bent into a circle.

Their fried were pretty good.

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

In a cumberland sausage stylee ???

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

Yep, I think it was actually called "Bender-in-a-bun"

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

Ok, can't stop laughing now for some reason :D

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

Was too busy pissing myself laughing and trying to stifle it from everybody but failed miserably as the tears streamed down my face.

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

Political correctness strikes again - its now just the frankfurter in a bun :(

Wait til the occupants of Frankfurt Am Main find out. They'll be pissed :rolleyes:

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

probably should'nt be admitting this,but i used to work at Wimpy,(money for college fun)and the chain was bought out by Burger King.

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

I'd be more embarrased to admit I was a college student than worked for Wimpey

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

They were ahead of their time in pioneering the low-carb diet, though. I remember as a kid laughing at their "slimmer's option" - two burgers with cottage cheese on top and no bun. "Yeah, like the bun is the most fattening part of a hamburger", I thought. Now, everybody's at it.

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

There are lots of Wimpy's in South Africa, they makes the best milk shakes.

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

Bugger. I've got it in mind now too. They were the only burger chain in S.A. for years.

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
 

I ain't seen one of those in blighty in years, well except up north for some reason...on the motorway up to York *l*

Re: Wimpy "Restaurants"
