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!"

And so inevitablyMy sister is walking down a street off Princes Street in Edinburgh. A tourist whose nationality I shall refrain from mentioning* asked: "Can you tell me where Edinburgh Castle is."
For those of you unfamiliar with Edinburgh, the castle is the very large, unmissable castle-shaped structure on a large rock that LOOMS over Princes Street.
*Clue 1: they were from North America. Clue 1: They were not from Canada.
