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!"

americans need love tooI agree with Mr Tea, and several of my best, intelligent, funny, multi-lingual and well-travelled friends are Americans, but every single one of them will admit to the overwhelming evidence that most of their people are an insular backwater of the planet with no knowledge of the outside world.
As an brit who can understand, but not speak, dutch (long story best avoided), I for one can understand the frequent local passers by in Amsterdam muttering about bloody tourists as they pass moronic stag-weekender brits lolling out of cafe doors. So in the spirit of comradeship, we're just as bad, except our misdemeanours usually involve chips, beer and whatever drugs we can find.
so there
