Blown Out Of All Proportion
Went for lunch today in my favourite Inverness restaurant, Cafe One on Castle Street. The place had a festive feel...with one party of ten already having their office Christmas lunch. Hey guys, it's still November!
The Christmas decorations were tasteful...just a few maroon and silver helium balloons strung from place to place... but the manager came over for a chat and complained that the price of said balloons had increased since last year.
"Well, that's inflation for you, " I said.
You could have heard a knife drop.
