    So, a couple of Americans visiting the 'old country' stop and ask this bloke for directions.


    Only inIreland would this make sense.

    Up that road, past a set of houses on the left, till you come to a place in the road where there's a right turn, don't take that turn keep going straight, further on there lanes to the left, take the second one, the one after the sign with the cow and a calf on it.

    no the first turn off is bradys.

    ah I missed the bit at the end, you take the second turn off, but then there's a house on the right, go past that till you come to another little turn off.
