I was going in Wendy's in Oxford Street or thereabouts at least up to the
late '70's, Noel.

I thought Wendy's was the only decent burger chain we ever had. But the
Brits were by and large still eating stodge, and veg boiled to tasteless,
nutritionless mush in those days. Now, by and large, they're eating
MacDonald's and chocolate, of course.

IIRC, Wendy's went to the wall in the very early 70's here in the UK -
followed by Wimpy's, although I think they staggered on for a few years.

....and the there came the Big Mac

The only relic of the 60's fast-food outlets that spring to mind as being
still extant is the Little Chef - and I think they're fast dying (at least
two have tried and failed in this area in the past 15 years)

LOL......I think you even qualify over here for 10% off on a Wendy's
Hamburger!!

That's a name from the past! Wendy's have long since, I think, departed
the UK. Not certain about 10% off a burger but in about 16 months I'm
due
a free bus pass. :-) Although always referred to as a bus pass it
actually allows free travel in London on bus, tram, tube and train

But it is usually 60 or 65 in Canada for *seniors*......isn't that a
horrible word!! But it gets me money off a lot of stuff. And that
satisfies the smidgen of Scottish genes I have! g

Cheers.....Heather (and the weather here is like England.......rain,
rain and more rain.....yuck)

The weather's pretty yuck here as well today.
