It's not too bad but their burgers are all gristle. Prefer McD's or BK

Wimpy rules, haven't been to one since about 2002 though. They have the best milkshakes going though.

Wimpy !!! "You may find that having is not so pleasing a thing as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."  - Spock

Also you are of course forgetting the indomitable "Spud u Like"

We haven't had a Wimpy in Jersey for over 20 years. Didn't even know it still exists elsewhere...just assumed they'd gone bust or gotten taken over (yes I saw on Wikipedia that they were taken over...guessing it's when they sold loads of their premises was when they left Jersey).

I remember the Spicy BeanBurger as I've been a veggie for 27 years and back then they were one of the rare places that sold any purpose made veggie food. Also remember the chips. And the Milkshake....if I remember rightly the Chocolate one reminded me of Baileys lol
Love and Light, Star Jadzia (Wife of Worf<3) -  Here's my photo list though I also met a lot of lovely people at talks/party etc.

Misc - John Barrowman (Jersey and La Cage aux Folles) Burn Gorman (La Cage...audience). Jason Momoa (CMLondon 09)

Collectormania 16 MK -  (Star Trek) - Sir Patrick Stewart !!!! Kate Mulgrew. JG Hertzler and Robert O'Reilly. Robert Duncan McNeill. Tim Russ.  Jeffrey Combs. Michelle Forbes......................(Red Dwarf) - Danny John Jules. Robert Llewellyn. Chris Barrie.....................(Misc) Georgia Moffett. Joe Flannigan. Lance Le Gault. Chaske Spencer.

Collectormania 18 MK - Michael Dorn (Worf - my Hubby) !!! John Barrowman !!! Jason Momoa !!! Nichelle Nichols (The Legendary). Tom Baker.  Peter Davison.  Colin Baker.  Sylvester McCoy.  Paul McGann.  Karen Gillan.  Caitlin Blackwood. Louise Jameson. Hannah Spearitt & Andrew Lee Potts. Brian Blessed.

We've got one in Borehamwood where I live, I think I've been there once in the 7 years I've lived here. The chips were good, and the milkshake.
