And it ends in Harrow.

Wimpy still exists and keeps talking about expansion though I haven’t seen any evidence of that yet. In some places you will still find Jenny’s and Starburgers which were/are defrocked Wimpy bars.

The real news here is; UK still has sit-down Pizza Huts?

Having said that, do Brits use ketchup on chips?

Just be glad he didn’t go to a Wimpy.

If I have see Girl Food on ebay I might give it ago. I will as ever sing the praises of Ma Broon’s Cookbook. Also I really do need to find the title of that Home Ecc book that collects a load of strips from Girl weekly.

Haven’t seen it in the wild yet, but Guinness Zero is here.

Works well with mussels too.

Gravy on chips is a standard offering in some parts of the UK. Not my preference but know people who swear by it.

Mayo.

I’m sure in Canterbury they regard it as a Limp Dick week.
