Stupid TouristsWhat's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

Walking around OxfordOverheard some Americans discussing FCUK. Now, we all kno wwhat word that looks like, we all get the joke. Being from America (I'm guessing they don't have this brand there) they didn't know about it, and the three of them all read it as "fuck". You know when people realise they thought something dirty while looking at something innocent? Usually these people shut up and look sheepish. Americans are loud. Americans speak their minds. I'm sure you can all imagine the humour of the situation.
"Oh, but of course, it means French Connection! French Connection United Kingdom"
I'm suprised they didn't think it meant French Connection Great Britain
