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!"

We got chatting to some Americanson a bus tour around Eton, we stopped at some traffic lights by one of the houses, theres a big sign on the wall beside me that says "Carter House", the first thing these Americans ask us, "So, is that named after the Carter family?"
Us - "Well, yeah, I guess"
Them - "What, the one on the TV?!"
Us - "Maybe, which ones?"
Them - "As in 'John Truman Carter'..."
Because a private school that has been in the country for probably hundreds of years names their digs after TV characters from the 90s...
