I know what you mean, I felt the same way about Wimpy Bars!!! It didn't matter where in the Country you went, they all smelled the same (exotic to a young lad like me )

Continuing on the same vein... in later life I found as will have many more on here, that in the Services the messhalls always smelled the same wherever you were, or whichever ship you served on,  and it didn't matter what was on the menu?!!!
