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!"

Standing in a queue for a Spike Milligan Book Signing in Manchester (obviously before he was dead) I overheard the following:
Large Cockney Tourist: Who are all these people waiting for?
Large Cockney Tourist's Husband: Spike Milligan
LCT: Who's he?
LCTH: He used to be a Comedian.
The Great Milligoon heard this exchange and threatened to kill them both.....
