<br>Although I use dto liek Burgerking and I go to KFC sometimes my favorite is Mc Donald's just 'cos they have cheap burgers so when you're hungry and dont' have much cash you can have something to fill the gap! I't spathetic but me and my friend kinda lived off fast-food in America! I also lived of it in LA which is why I cna't fathom out why the actresses starve themselves, if I moved to America I woudl be a right fat thing! 'Cos you can go to any deli and get huge snadwiches if you wnat a healthier option and how i wish they had 'dunkin' donuts here!

No they don't, all the American chains have overtaken it! But I have fond memories from the '70s when I was little, mum and dad would take us to whimpy for a treat on Saturdays and I still remember how tasty and filling the burgers were, the onions were crsipe, the buns were a decent size, the relish there was lots of it lovely burgers! Thats the thing, fastfood was a real treat back then now it's a meal option, how times change! Small wonder there's so many fat kids about now! Anyway, back to the subject, I went to Cleethorpes which is a kidna coastal town in the UK (although the lack of sea was disaappointing me beign a Southerner and all) with my fiancee at the time and his nephew and we actually found a Whimpy bar! I coudln't believe it, it was like a step back in time like Dr. Who or something! The food wasn't as nice as the '70s stuff though, quel surprise! Do you rememebr them having ice-cream parlous in the States in the '70s? I remmeebr that they had an ince-cream parlour when I was little and they has so many different ice-creams we went there as a treat too with my brother. Oh it was so cool in the '70s!I'm glad I was little kid then and not now, kids seem depressed now evn thought they have more fancy stuff than we had.

Nice memories, thanks for sharing... I ate at Whimpy's in 1985 when I was in London, it was total shite then... bad food, but I wanted to try it, as all my friends had all raved about them being better than McDonald's, and maybe they were at one time, not that McD's is steller or anything like that!
Ice cream palours you talk about, I remember two very fondly... the one with all the flavours would probally be 31 Flavors: Baskin 'n' Robbins Ice Cream, and my fave, Farrall's Ice Cream Palour... the chain went under, as in closed almost all their locations, I had my 7th, 8th, and 9th Birthday Parties there with a huge bowl of ice cream called the Zoo, it fed all and then some...
I have one in my town, boy was I surprised when I moved here 5 years ago to see a Farrell's Old-Fashion Ice Cream Parlour! Been there a few too many times, and the burgers are real good! [:D]

Thanks for telling me your memories too, yeah I think that's probably why Whimpy's were overtaken! I didn't eat in them later anyway as I lived in the country when I was older.
I'm glad you remember ice-cream parlours! I so love ice-cream! Ben and Jerry's are lovely but a bit pricey to have often. That place you mentioned sounds great, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!
