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!"

Being an ex-pat I'm always asked stupid questions such as'WHy don't you live in England'
to which I answer
'Because it's a self obssessed country full of xenophobic arseholes who think that not being able to pronounce the name of place which is spelt with no consideration to phonetics is a sign of stupidity, which is a bit rich coming from the country with the lowest percentage of second language speakers in the world.'
Although I did laugh at the story about the French Man who wrote down new English words in his notebook.
It's funny, you see, because he's trying to learn (or improve)a new language and it makes you angry because you are remaining an ignorant cunt !
/rant over lots of actual stupid tourist stories to come.
