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!"

YanksWhilst travelling to San Franciso on a Greyhound bus (I was a skint backpacker, what can you do), I got talking to an american guy. He asked me where I was from to which I told him the country of England. 'And you've come all this way on the bus?' he replied
Also when I was trying to book my Greyhound tickets over the phone, oh dear.
'What's your Credit Card Number'
'It's xxxxx'
'And what's your home address'
'xxxx, Lancashire, England'
'And what state is that in?'
'No I live in England, you know the country'
'Oh ok, but what state is it in?'
'I live in England we have counties, will that do? I live in Lancashire'
'OK, I just need the 2 letter code for that state'
'Fine how about LA'
'Oh why didn't you just say you live Louisiana?'
went to find a bridge to jump off
