Anyone Seen This?

This has amused me

It reminded me that the WIMPY bar in Welwyn Garden City where I used to work, lost it's franchise but just removed the 'W' from its sign and traded for years as the IMPY bar , selling Impy burgers !

Yes I read about that, a good name. At least Morrisons haven't complained.

[EDDIE51]

It's made Sainsbury's look like pr*ts but Morrisons see it as free publicity !

Like it, shows which outfit has the better sense of humour.

[Zacs-Master]

Wouldn't work for Sarsons vinegar would it.

Just to mention I did not mean I worked in the burger bar , I worked and went to college in WGC where the 'IMPY' bar was.

Love it. Does more for race relations than a dozen think-tanks.

Eddies1: No sin in working in a burger bar.

Morrison's can afford to join in the joke as they no longer have any convenience stores, but JS certainly do.

I always laugh at the burger van on the A11 near Therefore. Carls Burgers. (in Carlsburg font and colour scheme)

I guess Carlsburg ignore it as free advertising, since they don't do burgers. Mind you, if they did they would probably be ...

[Hopkirk]

Thetford, not Therefore.

Bloody autocorrect

#Eddies1: No sin in working in a burger bar.#

No sin at all.
I used to work in a Wimpy bar in central Manchester on the night shifts at w/e when I was about 17.

I started slicing onions, then got promoted to head toaster :-)

It helped me buy a new car, got plenty of dates, and made lots of friends.

trt: At that age I was working in my Dad's seafood kiosks. Used to rush over to the nearest disco when we closed and could never work out why I didn't pull...Guess the smell of burgers is more manly.

[EDDIE51]

I never suggested there was anything wrong with working in a burger bar. I just realised that the way I phrased my answer was ambiguous.
I've seen the Carlsburger van at Thetford as well.

I heard the chap being interviewed this morning on the radio....I must admit I had a chuckle or two !
