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!"

Near where i liveis Ironbridge which is a world heritage site due to the industrial revolution starting about a mile down the road. Anywho, this little village by the river Severn attracts tourists of all shapes and sizes but to us, it’s a nice place to go drinking and we often ride through it on the horses.
There I am, taking a breather with a tonne’s worth of shire horse with the brasses, looking a million quid. I however am dressed in a manky tee-shirt, shorts, riding helmet and trainers. A stereotypical yank tourist (fat, ugly, shorts, terrible shirt, expensive camera and an even fatter wife) asks me why I wasn’t in Victorian costume. After several minutes of complete confusion I managed to convince him that it wasn’t the late 1800’s, but he was outraged that he had travelled here, seen the sites and paid for a museum pass and I had not made the effort to wear a costume or play the part of a tat man.
