Before I left New Zealand to live in Australia they had a Wimpy's bar in Henderson Square (a shopping centre in the Auckland suburb of Henderson) I used to buy milk shakes there. They were the only one in New Zealand as far as I know.

I remember the Wimpy's in Mile End Road.
Later, when I moved down to London, I used to enjoy the International Grill at the Wimpy's on Mill Hill Broadway on north London.
Was run by a family from Turkey. This was the early '80's. Good times.
