Bender brunch in fact. Well I would have done if I hadn't stopped eating meat. Found a Wimpy Bar on Hayling Island & couldn't resist going in, albeit for a spicy beanburger. I had no idea there were any left in existence. Brought memories flooding back of trips to the Beau Nash cinema in Bath after which we would always go for a Bender Brunch and a Knickerbocker Glory in the Wimpy next door. A bender, for the uninitiated, was a frankfurter style sausage with notches cut out of it to make it, er, bend.

If I remember correctly, Wimpy Bars grew out of what was left of the old Lyons Corner Houses. Way before my time & I suspect that of most others on here.Comment

...and those benders used to have half a fried tomato in the middle. I used to go to the Wimpy Bar in Gantshill and have their cheeseburgers. Just writing about it brings the memories flooding back....the plastic ketchup bottles shaped like tomatoes and that plastic menu on a stand....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
