Stupid Tourists
What'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!"

Back when I lived in Sooooomerset where
There's a lovely city called Wells. In fact, it's the smallest city in England. Now, this small city obviously has a Cathedral, which is ridiculously huge. Whilst working by a *small* church Wells a few years back, I overheard some yank tourists exclaiming excitedly "THAT'S THE CATHEDRAL! IS IT THE CATHEDRAL! IT IS!"
