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!"

Scottish version of the Loughborough story
I've often heard tourists ask how to get to 'Milngavie'.
Actually, I suppose that's fair, as it's spelt Milngavie but pronounced 'Mul-guy.'
Ok, not as good as your Loogaburooga stories.
