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!"

Classic nonsense from touristsBeing described as "Scotch", by a Mercan, in Edinburgh. He really did not get the fact that it pissed me off, nor the joke about the fact the only thng that should get called Scotch is the sticky tape by 3M.
The following day, I was asked how long would it take to get to Inverness from Perth?
"about 2 and a half hours"
"WHAT? I thought it would be 15 minutes."
Big thumbs on little maps
And an other thing why would any Mercan want to go to Loughborough? All there is a ponsey sports orientated unversity.
I smell a bandwagon!
