Cuthbert Dibble Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 James you're right re "Bender in a Bun".I used to find it hilarious, although my mum and dad never did and would often wonder why I was giggling at the menu.You've got me reminiscing now about Brown Derbys and Rum Ba-bas. Maybe Wimpy could relaunch and target the upwardly thrusting power couples and Boden catalogue-reading families who now frequent this corner of South East London.I see Burger King now sell an "angus" and fries as opposed to plain old burgers. Genius! How's about a wi-fi area called Clicker Bocker Glory.

*Bob* Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I used to love fish and chips from Wimpey. The fish had been shaped like a trapezium - which (at the time) I considered to be a culinary triumph.

SimonM Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 >>there used to be a Poppins too.. anyone remember that?<<Oh yes! Years and years ago when I tried to make a point of sampling every greasy spoon in the area, I rashly ordered gammon steak and pinepple in Poppins. When it arrived the "pineapple" turned out to be half a tin of cold chunks poured over a thin round pink slab....

Huguenot Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 On the subject of Bender in a Bun, surely it wasn't that long ago that Wimpy also advised us to 'Chomp my Chunkynormous'? Also a convincing recommendation.On that basis, perhaps a petition to return this doyen of popular culture and eclectic Britishness back to our craven High Street?I shall contact them directly.

Michael Palaeologus Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 The best burger joint EVER was a Wimpy in a village called Milford near Stafford. Wimpy had a small white shed next to a big pub. Two ladies of a cetain age cooked the burger on a hot plate before your very eyes. Many, many, many years ago when I was in my late teens in my home town of Cannock there no after-pub eateries (except a place that sold those tinned burgers that were heated in boiling water). So we used to pile into a clapped out Morris Marina and head for Milford.It was still there a couple of years ago and as I was passing I had to have a cheeseburer. Oh lordy, they were as good as ever.So, if you ever find yourself in the area. Drop in to Milford, they have lovely tree covered hills and nice pub and a fantastic Wimpy. Of course there was also Uncle Sams in Brighton, but that is another story.

SimonM Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I suspect it has suffered from the downgrading/demolition of Dulwich/St Francis Hospitals. IIRC this used to be quite a popular watering hole for the doc's'n'nurses, on or off duty. :)-D Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/533-anyone-know-any-gossip-on-new-places-on-lordship-lane/page/2/#findComment-13728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TillieTrotter Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Thats true Simon, although when the site finished could be a potential gold mine. Are they building flats there do you know? I should know this, living next door, but cant remember.

( I grew up in the mighty Wolverhampton...) I wonder if the same ladies are there dishing up the burgers?
