In Response to Re: Pin the tail on the donkey! : I did a summer in McDonalds. Never quite managed to work my way up to serving customers at the counter- I was kept on trash duty and flipping burgers. I left after 3 months with no stars on my badge. I don't know whether to laugh or cry about that. Wimpys? Weird chain. One always assumes they died out in the 80s, but every now and then you see a random one knockng about in a forgotten high street. Posted by RICHORFORD

I think you will reach the pokertastic heights of 101.
I use to be a sky poker analyst on a Saturday, but I just could not live with the shame, so resigned and went to work in Woolworths as a store room boy and floor assistant!! Hours on end talking nonsence to people, dealing with confused old people and chatting up the female staff...............no difference really !!
Cleaning up maggots ( 3 gallons of em at a time) for the customers and other such wriggly bait things.. (poooooooooooooooo Hence why I never had a girlfriend till I left school and that shop. )

Oi!
They were THE original burger chain in the UK, long before those upstarts from MacDonalds & Burger King arrived.
It was a big do to visit a Wimpy when I was a teenager, & trying to impress a girl. I had my first shake in a Wimpy, too.
There was a Wimpy in Richmond, & we went & saw the Rolling Stones at Richmond Jazz Club - before they were famous - & then bumped into them in the Wimpy later.

Reminds me of the great Billy Bragg: "I am the milkman of human kindness, I will leave an extra pint".

Haha! Oh my god , I'm perfectly qualified then for a job in Woolies. Pity the whole chain has gone belly-up really.
Shame, I'd have quite liked a spot on the record counter, I always thought that looked like the cushy number.
And then when I got bored of that I'd ask for a transfer to the Pick N Mix...
