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!"

SandwichI live in Sandwich, Kent. It's been a market town for 1500 years. There's a golf course nearby so we get a lot of Americans over here. I have had several of them asking me why the town is named after a certain popular snack. "were they made here?" and suchlike.
