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!"

Not strictly a daft tourist......but all these stories of 'Do you know ... from ...' reminded me of a time I was in Boston.
Sitting down to breakfast in the hotel, some guy from New York walks up and asks if he can use the spare place at the table. He hears my accent and says 'You from Scotland' to which I replied 'Aye'.
Then he asks me if I know a guy called Eddie S***** as he's from Scotland too. Would have been a you twunt moment, only I did know the guy, he used to be my music teacher!
