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!"

American tourists in LondonTWO true stories that happened to me:
American tourists in Trafalgar Square- "Which way to Buckingham Palace?" I pointed through Admiralty Arch and said "Through there and keep going - it's at the end of The Mall". The reply- "Gee, thanks. And how do we get back again" !
American tourists on Waterloo Bridge- "Which way to Tower Bridge?". I pointed eastwards and said, "That way, around the bend in the river". The reply- "Gee thanks (again!) and which side of the river is it on" !
Unbelievable but true.
