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!"

Ahh
Working at Farnborough air show one year as a tea monkey. A mad american lady who I had recently given a cup of tea too, came back saying "can I have a refil on my hot water for these tea bags, they sure are quaint!" I couldn't bring myself to teaching her the british tea ceromonies of one bag one cup, so filled her cup. She was dead chuffed!
