Lost in Ballyhalbert?

I heard a true story this morning. Donkeys years ago, a stranger arrived in Ballyhalbert to find a long-lost relative. At this point Ballyhalbert was still a two street village. The stranger stopped a local, and explained that they weren't able to find the address they'd been given.

The response came:

"Ye're loast in Bellyhelbert?... A doot ye'd be as weel jist stayin' at hame."

"Ye're loast in Talbotstoun?... A doot ye'd be as weel jist stayin' at hame."
