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!"

Americans in AmericaMy cousin from Pennsylvania came to stay with me in New York once (we were both 23). I thought it might be nice to walk to the English tea shop which was about a mile away.
When we arrived, she flopped into her seat and exclaimed loudly "That's the FURTHEST I've EVER walked in my WHOLE life!" Then she drank 2 pints (pints!) of Coke.
My sister and I made her walk about 4 more miles before the day was out. She didn't visit again.
