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 used to live in Torquaywhich has a massive influx of EFL language students every summer - thousands of them. They fill up all the pavements and no-one can get through the clog of babbling teenage scum. Apparently they don't learn the meaning of "excuse me" until week 23...
Being 6ft and 15 stone has its advantages. I used to just walk through, barging the little buggers everywhere with my kids following behind, and a small crowd of normal people following - like a sort of human icebreaker.
