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!"

The Japs et al.I really hate it when you're in a gallery admiring a work of art, and a hoard of mincing Japanese come and stand right between you and it. Then actually fail to look at it even ONCE except through the lense of a camera. They have a 2 minute explanation of the work which none of them remember and you can't understand, and then they mince off to the next painting. The trick is to always be 30 seconds behind them and follow their trail.
Second......Germans with giant backpacks who insist on getting on the train before anyone has a chance to get off; side-swiping anyone within a 5ft radius with their bags, and standing on the left hand side of the escalator when you have 2 minutes till your train departs.
Third.....any Brit who doesn't speak French going to Paris. Are you mad?!!!!
