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!"

BicesterHaving lived in Bicester I've had no end of yankee tourists visiting their fa-AH-lis near the ex-military base "say, is this Bi-Cest-Tor?"
"No, its Bicester, BIS-TER"
"Why do they spell it Bi-Cest-Tor?"
"So we can spot tourists and kill you"

2 years of being constantly asked this question can be a bit wearing.
