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!"

Confusing English NamesI was walking around south west london (putney) and got approached by a random aussie to be asked - did I know where the underland station was? I was quick to correct her, but burst out laughing when she turned round. Not v. stupid - quite easy to get wrong actually!
