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!"

'Merkins...tsk!
Whilst working in a tiny little pub in London, the sort that gets lots of 'Merkin visitors going "golly how quaint", there was a couple who were a good laugh actually and spent a good few hours at the bar getting slowly more inebriated.
The waiter from the restaurant over the road then popped his head in and said,
"Can I have some change for the fag machine?"
The American lady heard this and said:
"What?! They have their own machine?"
and much hilarity ensued.
