Paddy stopped cutting the hedge as the big car drew up beside him and an English visitor enquired,
“Could you tell me the way to Balbriggan, please?”
Paddy wiped his brow.
“Certainly, sor. If you take the first road to the left? no still that wouldn’t do? drive on for about four miles then turn left at the crossroads? no that wouldn’t do either.”
Paddy scratched his head thoughtfully.
“You know, sor, if I was going to Balbriggan I wouldn’t start from here at all.”
