Speaking of burgers...I used to live in England from '80 to '86, and I
miss the place terribly.

(Can you imagine how often I have to tell people how Bicester is properly
pronounced??)

Anyways, I was just curious...my favorite burger joint over there was a
place with a name like, Wimbly's, or Wimpy's, or something like that.
They did burgers and several ice cream desserts...once my father decided
when we went for lunch to skip the healthy part of the meal, and we
ordered everything on the dessert menu! It was like, seven different
items, and to a five year old boy, this of course is a challenge that must
be met....anyways, I was wondering if any of you British chaps could
clarify what that place was called, and if it was a chain, or what?

I miss taking the train from Bicester to London...
