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!"

Piss take touristI was on holiday in Spain last year with my Greek neighbour. When out many Spaniards would come up to him and speak to him assuming he was a local. He'd let them carry on for about 10 minutes and say 'sorry mate, haven't a f*cking clue what you're on about'
I was never sure if the ice cream man there had run out of ice cream because I didn't know if the custom is the same nor can I understand foreign music
