> as he asked locals “where am I”

I think you may have accidentally discovered why some place names sound weird and why some spellings are funny.

'As Roy arrived in the hamlet of Balrye and asked the locals “where am I?” The Glasgwegians known for their piss take abilities replied "Baw-Shag-rie , mate", and at that, Balrye was no more. Later, when he asked the locals how to spell Yoker, another piss taker replied 'y-o-k-y-r-r ... naw, seriously mate, gen-up, it's got two letter R's at the end'.
