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!"

Bugger all to do with touristsbut it made me laugh. Doing a placement test (I'm an english teacher, and have to speak to students to ascertain their level of english and put them on the right course) today, I asked a woman what her job was. She answered "I sell drugs". Turns out she's a pharmasist. Took me ages to stop laughing. Very professional.
