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!"

Americans you've gotta laugh
When waiting for our plane in Birmingham airport me and my step-dad are staring out the window watching planes. One plane inparticular is in the sky having clearly just taken off. At this point an American couple walk up the window and the guy says "I wonder if that planes landing?" with out a second of delay my step-dad shouts out "Yeah it's reversing in!", i can barely contain my laughter as the women turns to us and says "Thats weird American planes nearly always land head first". Nearly always!? I nearly wet myself!
