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!"

Gay?
There's a small town near my home called Bungay, pronounced exactly how it looks.
Cue curious American couple asking me in work about Bungee.
'Nah, you mean Bungay mate.'
Disbelieved faces, slack jaws...
'Bun....GAY?!'
The middle-aged fellow of the couple flew into a rage at the 'STUPID FUCKING LIMEYS AND THEIR FAGGOT TOWNS!'
