This is a question 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!"

Warwick University
A friend of mine lived in Warwick and eventually got sick of American tourists asking him where the University was.

So he just started telling them to go down the hill, keep walking until you hit the roundabout, turn left and just keep going - then standing back satisfied as he watched them commence their 12-mile walk to Coventry, which is where Warwick University is.
