Telcos love changing their names at absolute nadirs of customer service rating. They rebrand, pretend they're a whole new company, actually effort on customer contact for about half a year, then rapidly revert back to the same poo poo service they were originally legend for until the next rebrand event. Kind of a worldwide thing.

Giving you a single ramekin with both sweet chili and sour cream in it is a Dog Act 1976.

Almost as bad as serving a meat pie in pea soup or calling a parma a parmi.

Later I got absolutely soaked exploring the fine selection of empty commercial buildings around the back. That building on the left looks a lot better now that they've pulled that tin cladding off the original facade

God drat did young Inceltown feel like he was a fancy lad when he ordered focaccia back in the day. Although the days of easily being able to get a hot chip roll with gravy are long gone too so we've come far but we've lost a lot.

My favorite was when craft beer got trendy but we didn't have any craft beer so every pub in Perth had a Redback tap followed by little creatures.

I remember the stage where anti-pasto platters where a big thing but every restaurant had the same ingredients on them cause they used all the same sandhurst jars of ingredients.

Ballarat had a single kind of hippie health food/bong/misc shop that sold Mountain Goat, that was all we had for craft beer. That was when it was called microbrewery not craft

I remember when restaurants used to provide a basket of different breads and flavoured butters as soon as you sat down. It was hard to resist filling up on the bread while you waited for your meal.

Tried out some french place a while back a goon recommended (Restaurant Hubert) and the bread and butter was easily something I could have had on its own and left satisfied.

So dang good. They also do the platonic ideal of a chicken kiev and before covid had a self serve salad bar. When they changed hands a few years ago and put some non-cub craft(ish) beers on tap I felt like I won the lottery.
