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!"

Me the tourist...During my travelling days across Australia I asked some locals directions to the an aboriginal town called "luff burra" they didn't half gaffaw and i felt like a prat when they told me it was actually pronounced Looga Barooga!
