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!"

On my visit to Australia......knowing full well that their aren't any kangaroos milling around on the streets I still took the chance to ask my friend and host 'Where are all the kangaroos?' on a daily basis.
Just to annoy her.
Oh and I also told her I was gonna open a surf shop in Summer Bay. Knowing full well it doesn't exist.
Her friend got her own back by imitating my Wigan accent and constantly saying 'Oooh, sorry love. I stood on yer flip-flop'
Also I didn't know what a chicken schnitzel was much to their amusement.
