Why am I wrong in thinking that if there was a BB then the actual location where it occurred must be the centre of the universe?

One of the well worn analogies is a balloon where the surface (the 2 dimensional surface) of the balloon represents the universe. As you inflate the balloon it stretches evenly everywhere without a center of inflation. The same principle applies to the inflation of our 3 dimensional universe.
