Wimpy never went, it's counter service restuarants were all rebranded as Burger King and the brand Wimpy along with the couple of hundred less desireable Wimpys were bought by a private group and still operate. There is one at M&D's I'm sure and I'm damn positive I've seen one somewhere in Glasgow, can't remember where though so I may very well be wrong. There is also one in the bowling alley in Kilmarnock, and the XS Superbowl in Paisley had one before it went kerput.

Wasn't the Wimpy on Ingram Street still operating up until just a few years ago? IIRC it was situated in the premises one door along from O'Brien's.

I'm not sure what qualifies as a few years ago, but there was one there.

Indeed. I've been noticing the same thing since the Garden Festival eight or nine years ago.
