WIMPY – OLD SCHOOL

The biggest burger cost you R3.15 in 1983.

But enjoy this, 11 years earlier it cost 40c!

Or try a three-egg omelette for 60c – gimmie a break!

Take a trip down memory lane and recall your road-trips with the family – when you used to go “up-country” to visit your relatives.

Wimpy was part and parcel..

This, from 1983:

Then wind the clock even further back to 1972. I was still dead then. they had a five year plan ready for my birth at that stage. The stars were still busy “aligning” as the old druids tell me.

Jesus, do you REMEMBER those “banana boats?” Hectic.

And what is a “bender” salad? Weren’t people meant to be very homophobic in those days?

Wow – very welcoming of them, I thought..
