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!"

Small WorldWas on the flight from Los Angeles back to Sydney. About 2 hours into the flight, nearby middle aged American gent was getting quite agitated. He eventually called the hostie (sorry, cabin attendant) and demanded to know when we were landing. She politely told him it would be about another 13 hours, and he promptly starts abusing her for telling lies as "nothing was that far away!"
