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!"

FrenchI was in New York cashing in some travellers Cheques at Citibank. Filled name in, signed them dated them etc, first time user of travellers cheques seem to be a bit or a pain.
Hand them over to Marge or whatever her name was, when she looks at me a bit strange. Unsure what the problem was asked politely,
Me "whats wrong?"
Marge "er no problem its just that you put the date in the same way a French client did earlier."
Me "er yes we do it that way in Engalnd aswell."
Her question which will haunt me until I die..
"Do you speak French in England?"
First post apologies for crapness..
