Stuff You've OverheardAre you a nosey bastard who likes earwigging other peoples conversations? What's the best you've ever heard? From terrorist plots to intimate details of other peoples sex lives. We want to hear it all.

"Oh say can you see"More American tourist goodness:
My sister was once approached on Edinburgh's Princes Street by a visitor from the US of A who asked "Can you tell me where Edinburgh Castle is?" (For those of you unfamiliar with Embra it LOOMS above Princes Street.)
Making use of her finger and words like "big", "castle", "shaped", "building" and "there" my sis managed to bridge the cultural divide.
As someone else has pointed out: it's the smart, well-informed ones who come here.
