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 ...also, I grew up in Cleethorpes, (rains a lot, but it's close to Grimsby). One summer, on the seafront, I saw a little boy point at the sea and ask if it was France over there. The reply, whilst pointing at the lighthouse in the estuary, "Yes son, and if you look, there's the Eiffel Tower."
I'd love to thinkhe was joking, but sadly not.
