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!"

Standing on the roof of St Paul's Cathedralwatching the RAF flypast for the Queen's birthday back in June. An AWACS 707 flies overhead (slate-grey with a huge rotating radar dome), escorted by a Tornado on each wingtip.
A voice with a broad American accent pipes up behind me:
"Look! Terrorists!"
