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!"

Used to be an usher, got asked a lot of stupid questions
But these Americans were pretty bad
"Is there a starbucks on this block?"
"No, there is a few other coffee places though, and a starbucks on the corner of Bread Street"
"We should probably get a taxi then, I'm exhausted from that walk up the Scotch monument. They didn't even have any whisky at the top."
They then proceeded to pay a rather bemused taxi driver to drive them 150 yards.
5 minutes later a 4 foot indian gent asked me in the thickest most stereotypical indian accent ever where the nearest strip club was.
Ahh good times.
