I can forgive a lot of things, but a sign spelling fare Fayre is a step too far. Bookers Bourbon Bar, AKA Karawara Tavern. Apparently soon to be demolished and replaced with a wine bar. Or perhaps Olde Worlde Whyne Barre. This is the establishment that asked when the American students were arriving so they could order an extra palette of fruity lexia. My short standup piece below refers to this. Fruity lexia is definitely traditional fayre.

The Worst of Perth 
Was wondering what exactly Tradional Fayre might be and found this on a web site devoted to Henry VIII.
“On average, a Tudor courtier would eat 4,500 – 5,000 calories a day, over twice today’s norm. Beef, mutton, pork, rabbit and venison were the most frequently served meats. Poultry, including pheasant, pigeon, doves, and, of course, chicken, was also plentiful. For religious reasons, fish was consumed on Wednesdays, Fridays, Sundays and during the 40 days of Lent. For feasts, the kitchens prepared elaborate marzipan confections shaped as exotic animals as well as gold-decorated dishes such as Peacock Royale.”
WOW!! All that AND SKY channel too!

Of course Traditional Fayre could be refering to the “bread and dung” diet of all non-courtiers in Tudor times. In Karawara I suppose that is more likely.

If those columns greeting the punters to Bookers are any guide, I think it’s time LA did a piece on criminal misuse of limestone.

what is an ‘Eatery’ ?
is it lower than a restaurant, cafe, or bistro?
no service, no enjoyment, just eating, possibly from a trough
or is it some horrible Americanism for them what gets suspicious of Frenchification

of course bistro is a loanword from Russian, where it means quick.

It’s like a cattery.

…but came into use in Paris after the fall of Napoleon when the occupying Russian troops used to sit in the cafes shouting it.

Oh no, this is too close to home. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked past this place – but I’ve never noticed…I must be immune to the horror of Karawara (oh the bad jokes continue!).

I will not have the drink that all 13 of my illegitimate children were conceived with be degraded by your foul minded misconceptions that Karawarra is a location deviod of culture.
