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!"

The Stupidest Thing ( Suprisingly, from a tourist to another tourist.)I was in a bookstore about... 30 minutes ago, where there was a pleasant Japanese woman dashing after a little boy who was squealing and playing the international game of 'Let's Run Like Hell' One of the shopkeepers eventually had to aid in catching the little kid and despite the fact that the whole time she was speaking perfect English (Mixed with a few Japanese 4-letter words), one of the passersby HAD to say ' Oh! So you don't speak English then, I bet?'
Canadian, I hope.
