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!"

Friend of mineIn Gran-caneria (twas shite) and he decides to wow me with his 'spanish' skills. This involved adding 'o' and 'ee' onto the end of every english word. One night we had to ask for directions to 'the kasbah' (bars etc). He walked into a restaurant, making a drinking gesture and saying, "pub-o?? pubo-o?!". I have since learned that pubbo is spanish for 'turkey'!
Lol!!oneeleven etc blah blah
