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!"

"Mr. Tea " (2 posts below) you have a good point -BUT at the end of the day the huge wealth of anecdotal evidence speaks for itself
in my humble opinion the very backward insular media americans are exposed to breeds the over pampered arrogant pig headedness that so many have found evidence of here
yes we've all known intelligent humble cultured americans , but they are very rare , most I've met unfortunately fit the stereotype and many here seem to agree
EDIT: Mr Tea of course Brits are idiots too - but american insular pigheadedness is a problem in itself with US public opinion backing up and providing impetus for their foreign policy and environmental issues - ignorance and arrogance are dangerous bedfellows
