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 flourescent american couple sat on the next table to us in a cafe in Paris.Mrs. Flourescent addresses the waiter: "Hi! Do you English speak?"
Although my favourite was another charming colonial lady in the Louvre about fifteen years ago who stood in front of some nondescript medieval painting of the ickul baby jesus and announced to the entire room: "All Europeans should be shot!" I still have no idea what prompted this.
