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!"

surely... (fiendish astro)pikkadilly kirkus is within 20 miles of kamding towne? not billysmart's kirkus tho' ... anywhere near grope cunte street? (this just popped in my head and is no reflection on fiendish astro) ...
ah yeah, stupid holiday stuff ... asking a fellow customer for the bill in an istanbul cafe-bar because she was kinda mediterranean looking and dressed trendily in black but not actually the waitress (doh; la touriste stupide, c'est moi) ... "er, um" as my mate fell off a moped in mallorca and blacked out, miles from anywhere (not v helpful); and crucially "yes, we've been standing here for fucking hours and we'd love a lift" to two german god botherers who picked up two very young, very thick scottish hitchhikers and - once they were trapped in the back of the car - asked " ent do you know cheesus?" (ie stupid tourists again us) ... what's worse we accetpted "cabin accommodation" off them for the night which was happily herr lipp free but did entail singing hymns. in german. which was a hard shift for two teenage atheists. who couldn't speak german ...
(this was a long long time ago when new order were actually new)
