This is a question Stupid Tourists

What'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!"

ARF!
An idiotic American man, woman, or couple asked for directions or mentioned an English place name, and mispronounced it!

He/she/they moronically thought that the "gh" in the word in question was pronounced like "f", or was silent, or pronounced the "cester" like 'ces-ter,' exactly how it's spelled! Fucking moron(s)! It was hilarious!

I laughed until I had a coughing fit.
Er, I lowed until I had a cowing fit. In sluff.
