Locals are up in arms over the decision of the Highlands and Islands Cafe Culture Department's decision to allow the naming of the new cafe at Ulpster, 'The Chocolate Starfish'.
"Its as if they have no idea what a chocolate starfish is or what it means", exclaimed Lobsterman Davie, shaking his head in disbelief, 'they might as well call it the hairy brown star for all the difference it makes!', he added. When pressed for an alternative Davie looked thoughtful for a few moments and then suggested, "What about something like, I dunno, the 'chutney ferrit on the cliffs' or something like that, more appropriate like?"
However it seems local opinion was divided on the issue, Gary Clerk (41) told us, 'Yeah I'm all for it it's wicked isn't it, I can't wait to have a latte at the chocolate starfish when it opens' though I preferred, the 'rusty sheriff's badge cafe' personally. I hear they do fudge cake aswell" he told us, "I can't wait to do some serious fudge packing".
Friarday and Saraday, two of the local horses where unavailable for comment however Prins, speaking through a horse psychologist told us he might go despite the name, if they have some good hay available.

I don't know what all the fuss is about......chocolate's yummy and starfish are beautiful creatures...it's a very fitting name if you ask me.
I'm looking forward to the fudge cake too.............funny tho, when I mentioned all this to a colleague he dissolved into fits of giggles...in the words of the lost boys "people are strange" and "Staaaaarrrrrr....michael's nice...I like Michael"
