Think there's still a Kennedy's in Beckenham?

I'd completely forgotten about Beatties, I loved that place as a kid.

I saw a C&A on Saturday.........

In Amsterdam.

Wimpy - still one in Croydon, but - aside from the joke one at the Valley (which bears no resemblance to a real WImpy) I can't think of another one outside motorway services. Shame, I love Wimpy burgers - ten times better than that old shite they serve up in Mickey D's.
Pollards - though the one in Deptford high Street might still be there
Chiesmans - then the Army & Navy - what happened to the Army & Navy?

Swisdom

Happy Eater

and of course C&A

I had a Wimpy at a service station on way to Walsall. They are still about though down here, one in Eltham has been done up!

Wimpy priced everything in pence for some reason.

WSS

Rumbelows!

Althought BestBuy may be re-introducing it to the market soon...

C&A is still big in Europe, they only closed down the UK operations.

My uncle use to be the buyer for womens fashions for C&A in the 70's when it was a bit more up fashionable. He got more tail than heffner back in those because of it!

Bournemouth Addick

Granditer.
Rumbelows.

I used to work in C&A and was in one not that long ago. In France.

Friend Or Defoe

Leroy,

Wimpeys in London

There's one in Lewisham high street near Nationwide. I have no idea what you see in the place, it's too expensive!

There used to be a drive through one around Lakeside somewhere as well.
