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!"

One time in the US of A........I was staying with a friends family. We took a trip up to Lake Placid in NY state. There was a rugby tournament (rugby.....americans! I hear you say) and lots of stupid guys who had obviously been beaten around the head too much.
Anyway. I was sat with a group of American rugby players with their trophy wives when one of them says "where are you from", I respond "Manchester" in a normal accent. For some reason the 1 piss weak Bud that he had drunk suddenly made him try to recreat my accent by saying "morrrncheysstorrr". Yeah, thats exactly as I said it.
The most amazing that he said next was....wait for it........"what are you doing over here anyway? Are you a terrorist?"
What a clever man. It was only 6 months after 9/11, but he was the most dumb looney tune that I have ever been near.
I shrugged it off as I was drinking his beer and he didnt realise...pity it was bud!
