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!"

England is smallI was in Arizona on business having a meal and a chat with colleagues. At the end of meal we got up to leave and an American chap turned around and asked me where I was from, "England", I replied. He then asked me, "Do you know John? He lives in London.".
Oddly enough I do know John from London but it turned out he meant a different John, what are the chances?!
(Ok, technically I was the tourist but I thought i'd share it anyway!)
