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!"

This wont make you wee the chair with laughterbut its my little experience with these American Tourist thingies
It was back in the dark ages of 2000 when computers were being released in 50 mhz incriments. Woooo it was hotting up, we were up to 600mhz!!! Wowee. And they were so reasonable at £1500 or whatever it was
I was at that junction in every young mans life where I didnt know whether to become
a Mac or a PC guy, couldnt afford either so I was at Harrods looking at the range of new stuff.
I was beside the bright COLOURed G3s lost in their greeny bluey beauty, when this slovenly woman arrives beside me with husband and declares:
"OH MAAY GAAAARDDDD THESE THINGS ARE ONLY 333MHZ!!! *HEH* I FEEL SORRY FOR THAM"
and then looks at me, because Im a poor wittle Brit who doesnt have access to more mhz than 333.
I was flattered she thought I was in the market for one
