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!"

An American friend......assures me that when visiting the UK it is considered to be great humour to ask all English people the way to Loughborough - but deliberately pronouncing it wrong as Loogabarooga. Apparently it gets them limeys every time...
edit: I Googled "Loughborough tourism" - there's fuck all there.
correction: There's a McDonalds on Park Road - that'll be it then. Phone number is 01509 260964 in case you want to book ahead.
