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!"

Mine is easyI was in Great Yarmouth a few years ago, looking out to the wave break, made out of grey rocks. An elderly American couple come up to me, and the man asks: "Are they the White Cliffs of Dover?"
I am stunned, and managed to stammer out: "No, the White Cliffs of Dover are a few hundred miles south of here, and on this side of the sea."
