LEO 1 - any of you old 'uns work on this thing?

.. the plastic chairs... plastic burger.... plastic smiles.... Oh yeah.... they were the days!!

But before the days when you could pay for it all with a bit of plastic.

...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.

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.

but disappointed to see it's only about food.

I thought it was going to be about the Liberal party

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 spicey 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 out of it to make it, er, bend.
