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!"

I will not say sorryA while back someone was having a strop about all these digs at the Americans. Well let me tell you, last night on BBC News 24 they put on ABC News from the good ole U. S of A. In the first thirty seconds I heard the following cock ups. Don't forget they were reporting on the London bombings so they should have made sure of their facts a bit. They refered to the bombs going off in the "Capital Of London". Outside "Liverpool Station", "Russel Street" and refered to the mayor as Ken Stone. Apart from this they called the fucking Underground a subway. Still think they don't deserve a few verbal kickings?
