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!"

Crossing the road for the DisabledThe scene is an open-top bus doing a tour of Edinburgh. It stops, as it must, to let people cross the road. An American (sorry) voice pipes up: "What's that beeping noise for?" It's for blind people to let them know they're at a crossing, I reply.
"You let blind people drive here?" she said incredulously.
