Genie Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I’m sure it won’t be a problem for most, but for anyone else that ordered one, mine has BBE date of end of June so only ~6 weeks to drink it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally though though I’d feel like crap for between half and a full day. I misread your original post as saying that your hangovers DID pass quickly, which is why I deleted my reply (too late!) In fact your hangovers are obviously very much like mine (i.e. bloody awful). And, likewise, I haven't overdone it for a long time.

Wainy316 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Speaking of fast food burger places my biggest regret when I was In California was not having an In-n-Out burger. By all accounts, it's by far the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you get breakfast and coffee and things. Went to it everyday when I was in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I much preferred Denny’s to Wendy’s. I’d love to see a Denny’s in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted May 10, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2021 Strictly speaking Wimpy was founded in the States. Indiana, to be more accurate. The brand was sold to the UK and was more successful over here. It’s funny, but it was only in the last year or two I heard of the connection between Wimpy and the character of Wimpy from Popeye (the restaurant being named after the serial hamburger scam artist). I’m not sure what I thought previously, probably that it was just a coincidence I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Random question: Can anyone remember the name of the main curry house on broad street back in the 90’s/2000’s? I think it’s now Pushkar but I can’t remember what it was back in the day. All glass and silver frontage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
