The Dingwall Wimpy

[4KHDTV]

Glasgow locations were Sauchiehall Centre, Ingram Street and Union Street. My dad used to take me to the one on Union Street after a trip to Games Workshop, good times.

We had a phase of hanging out at Wimpys in our teenage years....blast from the past!

Was that the hot dog used to love them dont think they would be described as benders these days

They still do benders but i dont think i would be brave enough to go in and ask --Do you still do benders.

I'm salivating looking at the pic.
I loved the bender sausage from the Wimpeys on Union st across from central station hotel

They were superb.

Mega buzz going in for a Wimpy back in the day.

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

Could arrange a follow follow wimpy bus tour

Athena in the Sauchiehall Centre for a swatch of the tennis girl poster then straight into wimpy!

We have a wimpy in Killie, it's in the ten pin bowling alley which also doubles as a nightclub.

Do you know the opening hours? I’m severely tempted to drive down and get one

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

Yep, used to love the sauce they put on the burgers. And note the poster: none of your 'fries' pish...it's portions of chips!!

chopped onions was the hallmark of Wimpy

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

As I posted in other thread, there is one in Kilmarnock. Next time we play them there, try it.

(Hopefully they are down for a few years and we don't have to go to Rugby Park)

It closes at 10 I'm sure, I've just noticed it's on Just Eat which is a bizarre collision of the old world and the new.

Must be at least 30 years since I've been in a Wimpy. Do you still get a plate and cutlery if you're eating in?

1st film I saw at the cinema (pictures)

Had my 6th birthday at the wimpey in Paisley. Ian Brendan kept kicking Mr Wimpey.

It later became a BK and it’s now an empty unit.

 

[Scarface]

I know everyone wanted to post this but, is that what your wife calls it after a few beers?

You know. Nudge nudge wink wink.

All in jest Mark i hope.

Ban en-route probably.

I heard Popeye's pal put them out of business by never paying his tic bill.

Dear God...I often feel like Mr Cholmondley-Warner when I read some of your posts

 

[Langsider]

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

That's the kind of record that follows you round your whole life.

 

[knightswood_bear]

Always remember going into the one in the Sauchihall Centre when I was younger. Always felt like a real treat.

Was there not also one in Byers Road that became Burger King?
