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!"

UncannyI've been reading most of these replies with interest...
The other night I went to a restaurant to pick up a carry-out (I live in a large Spanish port town) only to hear two American sailors talking at the bar. So, with all these stories in my head I decided to try it for myself and prove that only American tourists lack basic education.
Me: "Hello, are you enjoying your stay (tick Oirish brogue an' all)?"
They: "Yeah, thanks. Where are you from?"
Me: "I'm Irish."
They: "Wow. You speak English real good."

Me(to restaurant guy in Spanish): "How much longer will that chicken be?"
