The Northern Irish Accent

My sis's friend Doreen was travelling to Port Glasgow with her family from her home in Ballymena today when she called my sister and said that her husband said:

"we're in Norway"!

"What?"! asks my sister.

"We're in Norway" repeats Doreen.

"What on earth are you doing in Norway?" exclaims the sis.

"No, Janet, we're AN HOUR AWAY" replies an exasperated Doreen. Just thought I'd share it with ye all :-)
