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!"

Re SarahahahahYou work in the Canny Man (the Volunteers Arms) in Morningside?
That is the sort of customer service they doled out to locals and tourists, alike, when I lived in Embra.
The barmans friend once said to my wife that "red heads gave him hard-ons", just as I walked into the pub to meet her. I proceeded to take my karate suit (and impressive belt) out of my rucksack and refold them in front of him (and his dickwad barman friend) and put them deliberately back in the bag. We got thrown out for causing trouble.
I reckon the trouble the bar manager was refering to was the cleaning of the shite splattered down the trouser legs of his friend and on the floor, when the spacker ran, belming, to the bar out of fright! If the guy could have been more of a coward, he would be laying his own breakfast.
On the subject of tourists, the owner of this pub once threw a foreign business man out for drinking fresh orange juice! It made the papers and everything. The post-script to this was my mate Bob had a job there and the owner told him "only "shirt lifters" drink fresh orange!" So it was a homophobic hate crime!
Bob did laugh all the way to his boyfriends house, to get a beer and a good hard bumming!
