Hmm, well, in 1970 women were still banned from frequenting Wimpy's on their own late at night - because they would likely be a prostitute! Read the last few paras of this BBC article on Thatcher to see it mentioned. That titbit surely has to go in the article, but where?? :) Malick78 ( talk) 18:21, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on

Two stores still operate in Delhi, India — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.214.118.19 ( talk) 14:02, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
One of the unique features of Wimpy burgers in Britain and Ireland during the 1970s was the inclusion of a generous sprig of watercress. There was enough of the stuff to qualify it as a burger ingredient rather than as a mere garnish. — O'Dea ( talk) 16:46, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
When I was 10 I ate at the Wimpy restaurant in Amsterdam both in June and early August 1969 so at least one Dutch restaurant operated at least then. This page has a photo of it that looks to have a couple of cars that might be newer than 1969 and text that indicates that there were numerous Wimpy restaurants in the Netherlands in 1969. I think it would be best to remove any claims that Wimpy exited the Netherlands in 1969.

Can anyone add information other than the corporate history, such as what was served on the menu, characteristics of the restaurants, any cultural significance, etc? Daharon ( talk) 20:31, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
