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!"

Yankee wankyWorking in Bath, many moons ago, I overheard many American tourists. However, I think the pithiest statement was some Vern, Chip or Troy talking to his 40 stone floral-dressed camel-faced wife. They were in the abbey courtyard looking at a hastily erected fake facade covering works to the pumprooms on which was a painting of what the renovations would look like. So with their backs to the ancient abbey and roman and georgian architechture surrounding them, Vern and Marybelle look at the shoddy, A-level art rendering and Vern says: "Gee, that's history!"
