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 my story, but my dad's...i remember posting this before but i'm gonna post it again because it's so damn comic.
so way back when (early 80's, prior to my birth) he was working in town one day. in those days, he worked for standard chartered bank, who's offices were just north of river. so he hops off the train, strolls through covent garden, crosses tower bridge (keep up, londoners) and is strolling past the tower of london when he hears a rather large, loudly dressed fellow of the tea-dumping variety say to his wife:
"i wonder where the tower is... i guess it's behind this big old castle."
he actually died laughing, and was promptly resucitated.
hilarious.
