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!"

Leicester SquareA friend of my missus was stoppped in London ages ago by an American Couple who wanted directions to "Lie Sester Square". When he corrected them and Said "Oh yeah, Leicester square its over that way mate on your left".
To which they Duly replied "No no, listen to me LIE-SESTER SQUARE".
So he tried again, but they came back with the old "No no, listen to me, LIE-SESTER SQUARE", so then he says "OH, sorry, LIE-SESTER Square is over that way mate, on your right..." and off they went :-)
