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!"

My Father
was over in the states, and one night at a party was asked where he lived, he told the person and that it was 60 miles east of Birmingham.

No it isn't she said which rather boggled the old mans head. He pointed out that he should know where he lived and how far it was from Brum.

The woman went and got out an atlas to show him that it was the same distance from his house to Birmingham as it was between New York and Chicago. No Idea about different maps being different scales
