We thought that Wimpeys were cool places to hang out when we were teenagers(lol)
think i may have been to one when i was really young, like about 4. must have been the forerunners of maccyd's.
my first phone was my mum's old one it was a phillips and metallic blue with big round buttons. it was quite large in comparison to today's phones.

I think, but I'm not sure, that they appeared in the 1960s in our town......my mum would take me there for a treat after the cinema.....now I relise that it was only because she didn't want to cook. I did the same with my daughter with Maccy Ds. There's a couple of services on the M1 that still have Wimpys in them and they were running alongside maccyDs in the eighties and the one in Walton on Thames only closed about eight or nine years ago(lol)

In those days, Wimpy didn't do salad in their burgers. The biggest quandry was with or without onions.
