Treasure on the beach
A few years ago I spent a few summers working for an outdoor pursuits centre. One activity we used to do with the kids was beach-combing, looking for interesting stuff at the high-tide mark.
Sadly we had to stop this when one of the groups of children turned up a rather bloated dead body...

Merkins
As a Brit who has to work with Americans on a regular basis, this exchange amused me:
American colleague: "Independence Day is next week, I'm looking forward to a day off. Do you celebrate Independence Day in England?"
Me: "Yes. Yes we do."

» Look! It's me in the Local Paper
Ski Norge
We got in the local paper in Stranda, Norway for camping at the bottom of the piste on account of being too tight to pay for a hotel. Cue picture of 10 unwashed idiot Brits grinning in the snow.
Not quite sure what the paper's Norwegian readers made of that one.

Garda
Sadly not my story, but a friend...
Driving along to the airport just outside Dublin, 60 limit, blue lights come on behind him:
Policeman (you'll have to imagine the accent): Could you tell me what speed you were doing sonny?
Rich: Err, about 60?
Policeman: Just checking. Drive safely now.
Made me laugh anyway.
Oh, and getting stopped on the M6. I know it wasn't going to go my way when the WPC's opening line was "it took us ages to catch up with you".
