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!"

In the Museum of Welsh Life in St Fagans...... large American man to his large American daughter said, "We'll go over to the castle. We don't have castles in America, do we Shannon?"
Large daughter replies, "Yes we do, daddy! In Disneyland!"
Her age let her get away with not being twatted by us locals. But it was made all the more surreal by my dad's Belgian cousin (who was with us) translating the exchange into Dutch for his deaf wife to lip-read...
