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!"

Dear God...How many fucking mispronunciations of Loughborough can the human race possibly commit?
Myself, I really have nothing to add to the list, except my inexplicable tendency to mistake the Hancock Building for the Sears Tower whenever I visit Chicago - a mistake I really should not be making, due to the BLATANT discrepancy in height.
