Erm, how does one need badly?

I'm sorry, but that parsing of Jonathan's comment indicates that he
*needs* badly.  His drinking skills are indeterminate at this point.

I don't think so; there was one on the other side of Haymarket, though,

Actually, while we're on the subject, does anyone know what happened to the
few Taco Bell's in this country ? They seemed to suffer a similar fate;
which was a great shame 'cos they were one of the more-veggie friendly fast
food chains going.

...and thinking about it, didn't the Wendy's on Shaftesbury Avenue used to
be a Taco Bell as well ?

I had a Wendy burger last month when I was in New York - it was very
disappointing and not at all how I remember the London ones used to taste.
The bun was very sweet and sickly.

But this is terrible news. When did it happen?

Actually it happened once before. There were loads of Wendys in London in
the early 80s, but they all turned into Pizza Huts in about 1983. The big
Pizza Hut on the Strand was a Wendys, as was the one on Cambridge Circus.
For some reason the Wendys on Praed St was the only one that didn't change.

The best diner style burgers and fries I've ever had were in a Denny's
of all places in Watertown NY. Plenty of dill pickles, coleslaw,
bacon, relish. Yum. Back when I ate meat, of course.

OK, Now I'm REALLY hungry. I'll be at the New World at one
