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'm Stupid.....While in Prague last year I was pushed and scowled at by a very eastern european looking lady, I stared blankly at her and said;
"Cheer up love, it may never happen."
To which she turned around and said sarcastically in a broad yorkshire accent;
"Will it not?"
I shy'd away and hid behind my insane sister, hoping she would break the tension for me.
Edit: We had some female american exchange students at our school who decided to use a PC next to me in an IT lesson, one of them had opened Word and was sitting giggling, the others grew curious and she said "They use centimetres here!"... I just died a little inside, I truely did.
