The now sadly defunct Wimpy in New Malden was the centre of my universe, when growing up, and so I'm happy to see that it lives on in song. Though I'm not quite sure about the line "it brought meaning to my whole existence". That's going a bit far. Only a little bit, though.
I couldn't make out the words cause of my shity earphones but it kicks arse just on principle
Good job matt whoever the fuck u r!
It was the only fast food place in new Malden that offered real china plates!
Wimpy-- u lost another strong hold!! U could give urself a make over and step into the 21st centry thus improving ur chance for survival, but if u did u would lose all ur charm. Long live ur slow demise!!

I used to go there too! In lunch breaks when I worked in Bell's, the camping shop next to the post office. It was quite unlike other fast food places: a plusher feel to it (those red imitation-leather seats) and you could ask for things that weren't on the menu. I used to love their egg and chips. It was run by a family - Greek, I think. Later Wimpy ripped out the old seating and put in the more usual plastic tubular seats and tables later.
Great vid: I still miss New Malden!

Love the song. The New Malden Wimpy was our 'special treat' eating out, we were too poor to afford the 'higher class' Berni Inn
