Wimpy - british ad from 80's

I like the fact in Wimpy you always get a knife and fork and the food is served on a PLATE!

You've not been to Wimpy for quite some time then?

yea and they are like the only fast food place which serves lamb burgers mmmmmmmmmm..............

Ex Radio 1 DJ and former husband of Sarah Greene - Mike Smith doing the voice-over there. I remember this ad well!

Dont know if i fancy eating a burger that moves.

There will be a new Wimpy opening up in the Frenchgate Centre in Doncaster.

anythings better than eating out of mcdonalds.i havent eating out of mcdonalds for 15 years now. give me a burger king anyday.

Still is a treat kinyoman!

If you can be patient, and wait for them to make it, then I agree-a decent Wimpy Burger is better than your average Mac or King....

aaah loved Wimpy! they seemed to disapear for a while but seem to be having a renaissance according to their website they are opening loads of new Wimpys woohoo bring it on!

Wimpy @ Chiltern Shopping Centre, High Wycombe <3

There are 3 locally to me :D One near my 6th form college, one on my local high street and one outside my train station :)

theres real countryside horsemeat in wimpeys gristleburgers.

Wimpy was wanky,...I seem to remember,from peering at a safe distance from the outside,that they served everything on plates,..and only the type of people who use a knife and fork to eat a hamburger used to go there...

Wimpy @ Gillingham High Street FTW! :)

I remember Wimpy's, the bun used to be nicely toasted so it was still crunchy, much better than the soggy McDog Burgers. Who remembers the Brown Derby's and Knickerbockerglories....Don't see many Wimpy shops anymore... maybe the name isn't cool enough? I'm happy being a wimp!

I've never eaten at a wimpys; by some of the comments im guessing the food is pretty good, but does anyone know why the name "wimpys" was chosen?

@dragonfly9196 Apparently the name Wimpy was named after the character of the same name in the Popeye cartoons, if I remember correctly the Wimpy character liked to eat burgers!

@dannyboydoh oh i get it. "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!"

@courtney359 Yes, over-processed rubbish. If you look on you tube you will find Vincent Spurlock conducting an experiment into how long McCrap burgers and fries take to go rotten - and the fries still looked ok after 6 months in a jar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How did I get here
