For some reason this came up in a thread once, I’d never heard of a Wimpy and didn’t have a clue what our resident northerners were talking about

@DoubleWhopper @student_loyal

 

[Ubik]

was given a lifetime ban from wimpy when in primary 7, might try my luck one day.

 

[Bluebeard]

Disgraceful only 3 of these fine establishments across the whole of Scotland. Still to this day the best burgers I’ve ever had.

 

[Johnny Cash]

The land that time forgot.

 

[Stevo84]

The only wimpy I have ever been in was in bathgate when I was a kid, can’t remember anything about the food though. I’m assuming its not great as they all wouldn’t be shut down lol

 

[mdingwall]

The used to do a fantastic quarter pounder with 1000 Island dressing. Bizarre they dont open til 11 on a Saturday.

What I came on to post

 

[Coisty09]

While @David Edgar slums it in a castle, GS goes for the true fan experience.
No need for hob nobbing for big @mdingwall
Enjoy 1975 big yin!!!

 

[Dalai Lammers]

Sure there is one in Kilmarnock round by the chiropractor I use

 

[the voice]

I’m glad you aren’t visiting the shop/office across the road from there.

 

[G-Hallbear]

Went to many a kids party at Wimpy when I was a kid and was utterly terrified of Mr Wimpy

 

[spotlight]

Loved it as a kid after swimming.

@DoubleWhopper @student_loyal

Wonder if they still do the ‘Bender In A Bun’ special

 

[InTheKnow]

I remember when you could still smoke in that wimpy.

Chugging in the public bogs will do that to you tbf lol

 

[student_loyal]

This is still interesting? Soooooo last year.

Agreed.

Dingwall, Peterhead......Where's the 3rd one?

@DoubleWhopper @student_loyal

Where we all used to have our birthday parties when we were your age bud.

 

[Bluebeard]

Agreed.

Dingwall, Peterhead......Where's the 3rd one?

Kilmarnock. Tempted to drive there and get one, it’s been over 20 years.

 

[Vallance]

...

 

[johanfyfe]

Brilliant burgers, think they used to lightly toast the bun . Made all the difference!

 

[R-M]

Amazing burgers as a kid. Where was the one in Glasgow again? Sauchiehall street?

Only a couple of weeks passed,might still recognise you?

 

[Crown_Defender]

Agreed.

Dingwall, Peterhead......Where's the 3rd one?

Kilmarnock according to Google.

Used to be one in Stirling. I remember the despair and suspicion when Burger King opened in its place.

 

[AnglianBear]

Loved a Wimpy back in the day.

 

[The Businessman]

I was at one as a kid and Mr Wimpy got drop kicked in the stomach off this maniac of a wee boy in my class.

I remember that one too - just along from the Dreadnought Hotel.

 

[Northampton Lodger]

Used to go to the one in Motherwell for lunch when I started working. Prices must have been reasonable because the wage certainly wasn’t.

 

[bluetonic]

Do you still get your burger and chips on a plate?
Staunch!

 

[Degausser]

Used to be one in the Megabowl in Clydebank. Now a Go Outdoors.

 

[CoopBlue]

Still quite a few of them down here in Englandshire

... next to the Music Box on Whitburn Rd.

First North American style 'Burger Joint' in the UK - back in the day, and nothing like the real McCoy.

 

[The Predator]

Wonder if Mr Wimpy still makes appearances for birthday parties

 

[Clementime]

Loved Wimpy as a kid.

Didn’t they do a mixed grill, where the sausages were nicked and the bent into a circle?

Great milkshakes and the banana longboats

[thomsonstackle]

Agreed.

There’s not one in Peterhead anymore. Been closed for the better part of a decade.

There is still one operating in Fraserburgh though.

The one in Bathgate was awful and nothing like as good as any other I have been in.

 

[Lainey Love]

Used to love a roll and mince from the wimpy in Killie back in the day

 

[55 and counting]

Wonder if Mr Wimpy still makes appearances for birthday parties

Flashback to my childhood. Forgotten all about that.

 

[Ubik]

Wonder if Mr Wimpy still makes appearances for birthday parties

that's why we all got banned. Mr Wimpy makes his appearance but for some reason we kicked the shit out of him, destroying the shitty costume.

 

[RaskolnikovBear]

Do you still get a wimpy king size? Not seen a wimpy in years. Them and the Little thief.

 

[DavieDee55]

The one in Peterhead is shut now sadly.
I met The magnificent bastard in wimpy sauchihall St in 1989.
I had just been to watch ghostbusters 2
Good times

 

[charlie_snowball]

Had a few Wimpy parties back in the day.

My big cousin used to make it his party piece by boshing Mr Wimpy on the snib when 'he' walked out. The first time he did it, Mr Wimpy had a foam nose. The next time, he had a solid nose and he nearly broke his hand Good times.

That was the old Wimpy at the top of Sauchihall Street that became a Body Shop I'm sure. It has also been a Burger King too I'm sure.

 

[Brian Laudrup]

There is one in Ruislip,visited it last summer and was very underwhelmed

should have left the memories of Wimpey in the past

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Get something and post it let us see what it’s like ahah
