some of my old SS chums decided it would be a good jape to try to pass me off as a priest at the local church for a few weeks ....

John Humphries
I'm sure he's a nice person in real life but when being interviewed he comes across as thinking whatever he utters should be forged in bronze and mounted on a plinth
..and Umberto Eco - not as clever as he likes to think he is
(anyone read Foucault's Pendulum? you can keep the receipt on the book but you'll never get that time back!)

stupid brit tourist
backpacking around North Africa when I was younger - in a dingy Egyptian hotel - when I went to use the toilet I noticed a pipe sticking up out of the pan , obviously it was loose plumbing, I thought - so I proceeded to bend it off before using it - only later in the holiday did I realise it was a combined bidet/toilet
NB. later on, had what should have been a beautiful moment to myself ruined in the top chamber of the great pyramid by the bickering * "across the atlantic" family sharing it with me
mindpiss moment of that week - being asked by the felucca driver if I had a "big banana" when there was just me and him left in his boat - a swifter exit from a boat there has never been
*Not Canada, the other place

when I lived in London
overheard an American on the South Bank ask which part of Scotland Wales was in, and I had a mate that when asked for directions by someone with the accent, would ask their nationality first. If they were Canadian he wouldn't purposely misdirect them
I get the feeling that the biggest problem people have with americans isn't their stupidity or naivety - we all make mistakes when abroad in a strange place- it's that unique mix of stupidity and arrogance that does it and the complete lack of self awareness of the fact
