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!"

I've got loads of thesebut a favourite was when working on a cruise ship full of Americans which meant you had to be super-polite to everyone, despite being exposed to the extremes of human stupidity. One particularly backward example asked me where I was from. I tensed up and got ready for the 20 minute explanation of where Blackpool was, praying that the guy knew what an England was. Remarkably he replied "I know Blackpool, sure. Matter of fact I was on vacation near there not too long ago."
"Really?. Whereabouts?"
"Wales"
