Back in the late Sixties there was a Wimpy Bar where I grew up in Preston.
It had to be the first burger joint in the town. It was near the Ritz cinema I think and must have been popular.
I can't recall going but my childhood memory, other than toys and books and telly, is shockingly bad.
As I've got older, like everyone, else I've seen the rise of McDonalds and Burger King. I've even seen the odd Taco Bell ring out and just last year a David Hortens, the Canadian pancake joint.
But Wimpy Bars are nowhere to be seen. Not a sausage. They were first on the scene. What on earth has happened? How come Wimpys aren't everywhere?
Do you remember them? Which other eateries have vanished?
