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!"

and they used to chain up the cake fridge...
Used to live in york, worked in a pub on stonegate, the same street as york minster. Without fail, every saturday in the summer, I would be asked by an American tourist "Where can I find the really big church?". Often whilst looking at the building.
My revenge was to invite them into the pub, for shitty "home-cooked" food, and an atmosphere like Auschwitz gift shop. If any of you know pubs in York, I'm not talking about Ye olde star.
