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!"

Not me, but...A friend of a friend is a policeman, and was recently accosted by a pair of American tourists whilst walking the beat in London. The conversation went something like this,
"Why does the pelican crossing beep when it's ok to cross?" (tourist)
"It's so that blind people know when the lights are on red" (coppa)
"Thats amazing! In my country blind people aren't allowed to drive!" (tourist)
Genius. Sheer genius.
