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!"

I'm Scottish.But my grandparents are from a nice little touristy village in the Cotswolds. You often meet American tourists there.
When one elderly American couple discovered I was from Scotland, they asked, entirely without irony, if there was running water and electricity in Scotland.
They'd seen Braveheart, and for some reason, thought it was a contemporary film.
