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 said but they should have known betterSo there i am in Sorrento in Italy- surprisingly full of Italians.
We are at a coach stop on some excursion when a bright shiny white coach pulls up alongside us full of, quelle surprise, Americans who have hired this coach and stuck their tour company name on the side. To be fair they were actually nice and friedly and surprisingly unstupid. However, they were driving round in a coach with a name on (that i now cant remember- had Italy/Italian and Tours in it) but the initials of the company were ITI. This was made all the better by the fact that the I and T and I were huge and the rest of the name was quite small. Well done boys, well done
In case you're lost, iti is derogatory term for Italian like Kruat, Frog etc
