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!"

Ozzie fun
First post ever. Hope this is worth it.
Moved to Leicester 5 years ago and had the pleasure of meeting some ozzie tourists who were looking for directions to a local tourist spot. The very polite man was asking me and a companion for ten minutes for directions to LoogaBarooga until we realised he was actually asking for directions to ......Loughborough.
Ahh...bless.
