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!"

FloridaTechnially I'm the tourist here, being British and all, but it's just so classic.
I'm standing in line for a rollercoaster ride in Universal Studios, Florida, where the obviously American couple behind me overhears my conversation with my friend.
I suddenly have a tap on my shoulder.
"Hey, so are you like, from the Royal Family?"
For a moment I was shocked but decided that I should reply with,
"Shh, I'll let you in on a secret. I am part of the Royal Family, infact I'm the Prince, but we're in disguise from the press, so if you could keep quiet, we'd be most pleased".
They even had their picture taken with us.
Bless. Must have made their day.
