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!"

« Go Back
when I was in Washington D.Cback in October 2004, I was shopping in "Bath and Body Works"(for those who don't know, it's almost exactly like The Body Shop), and as I was paying for the products, the woman at the counter asked me for my Zip Code. In my completely-obvious-I-am-not-American-since-I-live-in-Wales accent, I explained to her that I wasn't living in Washington. I told her that I lived in Wales. She then asked me which state Wales was in.
I do love America, though. Yet that was such a classic line!
