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!"

Logie Bogerough!!!I have 2 incidents involving nausiating ignoratn Americans. Once at a backpackers in Melbourne I had an brain dead tit come and ask me where I was from. Being polite I said 'Manchester' to which he replied with an air of knowledge 'Manchester?? Thats near England right?' Surpressing my instinct to beat the ingnorance out of him I replied 'No England is in Europe'
Second incident happened in Conventry. Car pulls up to me winds down window to reveal 2 more Americans dressed to brave the arctic in January not the midlands in September "Can you tell me the way to Logie Bogerough??" Obviously taking in to account the accent and dress sense I realised instantly that i was dealing with a far superiour intellect on a par with George Bush's and suspected they wanted to go to Loughborough I would however have been doing my fellow Englishmen a diservice had I not directed them straight into the nearest dodgy housing estate.
