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!"

Not the Tourists... but the Tour Guide...Whilst on a Tour Bus round Hollywood, the Tour Guide took an interest in our "quaint" English accents:
Tour Guide: So where in England are you guys from?
My Mum: Nottingham.
Tour Guide: Gee... like Robin Hood... so do they teach your kids archery in school then?
My Mum: Err... no.... do they teach your kids how to shoot Indians?
Rather surprisingly no more questions were asked of us for the rest of the tour.
