Can I just say, wha? Young master worst watching a wild west version of Spongebob, reminded me I had snapped this astounding sight in Fremantle. Why has no-one alerted me to this …thing on the streets? And I thought the Melbourne restaurant tram was a bit embarrassing. There better be damper on the menu. And loin of witchetty grub. Actually there’s not. Menu is disconnected with the theme. Here’s the menu.
Just today I realised that so many good shots are coming in that I could actually stop using my own pics, and still be lord of original content creation. Obviously I still have to “de-wince” a lot of your text, but your eye for visual worsts is becoming sharp. Damn sharp. Saying that however, I thought I better make an effort myself occasionally.

The Worst of Perth 
It is quaint, but certainly something what would be more at home in Armadale, totting past the sights, sounds and smells of Pioneer World.
I’m not sure if I’d consider it a Worst (unless they don’t clean up after the horses) but I daresay I’m not overly interested in availing myself of its services.
The dinner tram was enough.

Not a worst? Really?

Is mixing food with the aroma of horse manure a sly move by the esplanade to diguise just how bad their food is. Or is it the logical progression of the trend towards takling life back to the good old days when life was more simple, the streets were safe and you knew each of your nneeiiiggghhbours by name.

I believe the food will be of excellent quality from the ‘Nard, but I would have thought a menu that fitted the theme would be more appropriate. Being pulled in an air conditioned horse drawn box, eating seared chicken Caesar salad just seems a little off to me.

The Clydesdale abomination requires an additional horsefloat hitched up to the rear (or perhaps embedded between horse and cart configuration)which houses a resident chef in an open air style all sing all dancing kitchen arrangement. (Pole optional). This would save the business from inevitable collapse and provide an additional target for pie throwing!

Don’t knock the Melbourne dining tram – I was on that fucker for a good three hours drinking straight Drambuie on crushed ice like it was cordial. Damn fine value, even if the roo steaks had the texture of boiled cuntkinis.
And the same be said for the Gondolas in Melbourne – I even proposed to the good Mrs Cookster on one while swanning past the MCG.
The problem is, every idea bought to Perth tends to become an expensive, wannabe worst.

Back to the topic of the blog which can only be described as “naff”; failing miserably to carry even the faintest trace of authenticity in respect to the period of time in which horse drawn wagons were current.
