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!"

GrocklesNot so much say as do.
My folks live in a small town on the edge of the New Forest; we shall call it Fordingbridge, for that is its name. Hundreds of tourists hit this area in the summer, many staying at the gloriously named Sandy Balls (which has been featured in a b3ta newsletter) and stroll around the New Forest. For some reason they all decide to swim in a small ford near one of my favourite watering holes. What the stupid tourists don't realise is that this ford is full of raw sewage from the sizeable population of new forest ponies that live just up river. Oh how we love to laugh at the grockles frolicking in pony piss whilst we sup our warm English ale.
First post, so no apologies for length or girth - if it's good enough for me....
