Idiom Scenario 2
Two friends are talking ...
Friend 1: Excellent party. You sure know how to throw a party.
Friend 2: Thanks, but I am worried that the food will run short.
Friend 1: I am sure that the turnout is far higher than you anticipated. There seems to be a lot of people here. I am sure you did not calculate the food requirements for so many people. I can order some pizza if you like.
Friend 2: That would be great thanks. The thought of someone not being able to get something to eat at a party I am hosting is appalling.

Idiom Scenario 1
Two colleagues are talking ...
Colleague 1: Seriously? You have been extolling the merits of this supplier and just when we are about to sign a major deal, you have decided to change your mind and not recommend them? Why the sudden shift?
Colleague 2: I wouldn't normally change horses in the middle of a stream but I have just been made aware of some significant issues with the supplier that I had not previously known. These issues are such that I can't back this supplier any longer. I now have to recommend the number two choice for supplier.
