Stupid Tourists
What'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!"

Love them Yanks!
In Edinburgh at a pedestrian crossing, one of those push the button and wait for the light to change type ones. As the man goes green, so he emits a bleep.
American cow-person "Why do they make that noise"
Me "It's for blind people"
AC-P "Amazing. In our country blind people can't drive"
