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!"

I went to Italy with 2 friendsand the shower in our ensuite bathroom got clogged up. We decided to leave a note for the cleaner so s/he could unblock it and save us from the perils of standing in gakky tepid water.
Unfortunately, none of us speak Italian, so we had to muddle our way through with the help of the pocket dictionary one of them had brought.
It was only later that we realised we had written, "Please clean my drain. I am blocked."
