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!"

In my experience, it seems to be the more middle aged, never been out of Hometown since 'Nam sort of tourist that seem to expect either...
1 the UK should be the US or
2 we should all be extras in A Christmas Carol
Most of the more urbane, younger types perhaps from a town with a popualtion of more than 7, have never given me the oportunity to feel slightly superior just because I can name atleast 2 Europen capital cities. Thanks.
God Bless us one and all, Guvnor.
