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 think Brits this time...I haven't seen this one posted, so I'll put it on here, even though it didn't happen to me.
Two lovely tourists in Toronto. At the restaurant for lunch, asked the waitress how to get to Victoria for tea. Waitress thought this meant the Victoria Tearoom. "Just down the street there, about four blocks and turn left."
No, they wanted the Empress Hotel in Victoria, because they have good teas there, they had heard.
"Oh, yes. Well, then, after you turn left, just go straight on for another two thousand miles."
