Cafe Tardis

In my village there is a small cafe, wonderful little place. I decided to go their with a friend for an earl grey and a cosy chat. We entered and I was astounded at the size of the place. The last time I visited there were half a dozen or so tables. Now the place was so vast and crowded that distant tables were lost in an atmospheric haze. However, all the 4 million or so customers turned to look at us. A myriad shining eyes, disconcerting. Luckily, we spotted a empty table about 100yds distant and were about to set a course when I noticed a 'Please Wait To Be Seated' sign. "No wonder," my friend said, "It would take several days for an unannounced visitor to be discovered."
Time the ego was downsized perhaps.
