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!"

A friend of minewas on a business trip to America. Thje conversation went something like this -
Taxi bloke "Hey, where're you from"
Friend "England"
Taxi bloke "that's great - do you speak English over there?"
Friend "Erm, yes. That's why it's called English"
Taxi bloke points at some neon lights "you got lights like that in England?"
Friend "yes, we have electricity"
He thought about going for sarcasm, but being in red-neck country he decided to go for the being polite option...
