Having devoured one for lunch and seeing how few of them are left my current unpopular opinion would be "The UK needs more Wimpys".

Crikey that has just bought back a core memory from childhood! Sitting in the wimpys in the Broad marsh shopping centre in Nottingham slurping down a milkshake, after going to "forbidden Planet" comic shop just across the way

Only had takeaway so didn't spot them but can confirm:

- The bacon cheeseburger is to die for.
- The Bender in a Bun is still on the menu.

I regularly visit the one in Felixstowe.

The ketchup bottles are now regular Heinz ones, having stopped using their own brand which was far nicer.
The Bender in a Bun, while still on the menu, is now called the Bendy, so as not to be associated with a homophobic slur.

Wimpy was crap. Only obvious once the first McDonald's opened in Nottingham. We had no idea of the scale by which we had no idea. Vastly superior.

I understand that Broad Marsh has now been demolished.

A bender that is the thing I remember
I never had one it looked gross, it looked to me like a sort of meat version of their rum bubba but I couldn't remember what they called it and no one seemed to remember it when I described it I was starting to think I had imagined it.

You mean the Brown Derby? That's not really a baba, just a sugar ring donut with ice cream on top.

The did something that looked a bit like this, I think they called it a rum bubba

When I was quite small and the menus were quite high up behind the counter the meat thing and that looked fairly similar, it all just seemed kind of gross

As I noticed an ever growing number of Ukrainian plated luxury vehicles driving round. I can see a S63AMG on Ukrainian plates out my window right now!

That no fighting age men from Ukraine should be able to settle in the UK under refugee or similar status.


Obviously if they're in a wheelchair allow some latitude. But so long as we are pouring millions of taxpayers money into that conflict, the least Ukrainian men should be doing is everything they can to win.

(Not that they ever will win as Putin's pride will just throw everything, men and weapons wise at it until there's nothing left. And secondly, anecdotally its been suggested to me by someone who should know, that a lot of these "Ukrainians" are actually Russians with dubious papers)
