- sounds as if its within 50 yards of where there used to be another
- mcdonalds clone about 10 years ago called "the whim" which had
- such specialities as "the whimbo-burger". this must have
- closed about 5 or 6 years ago as it has now turned into
- a branch of Liberty's ... it is left as an exercise to the
- reader as to whether a fast food shop or an expensive head
- scarfs aimed at tourists shop is of more benefit to the
- average resident.
-
- perhaps mcdonalds will suffer the same fate.

- there used to be (?10 years ago) a good place up Mill Road
- called "Colonel Fudpuckers" which did Brett's style burgers.
-
- However since i was violently ill after having a Brett's burger
- a few years ago i became wary of them ... rather an irrational
- decision as they were rather good burgers.
