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!"

Where y'all from then ?After several replies of "Where the f**k's that then?" I changed my standard reply to:
"Belgium, Belgium is a small country between France and Holland".
Didn't stop this happening:
Me: "Belgium, its a small country ....."
Him: "I know Belgium. Belgium is the capital of Amsterdam and there is a castle there".
Turns out he knew this to be a fact as his brother was stationed there with the US military (place called Munich!!!).
Ahh Munich.
My Dad on a plane before the demise of the Berlin Wall. Passenger in the next seat:
"aaam from Texaaas. 'going to a John Deere tractor convention in Munich - Munich is in Germany (/doh). The bit of Germany that belongs to the US of A.
I love 'em
