Stupid Tourists
What'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!"

That's so sad... everyone should celebrate Thanksgiving!
A 'Merkin student who studied here in Oxford (Oxford, En-ger-land, that is) for a year asked me what we usually did for Thanksgiving. She was horrified to find that we "don't usually bother, actually"
The sad thing is, the same girl asked an almost identical question about Independence Day several months later...
