This is a question 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!"

American tourist and Ticketmaster
Two weeks ago, when the world was buzzing with excited about Live 8 (TTTTT), I received a call from Evelyn Bergman from Milwaukee. She didn't understand that you couldn't buy tickets for Live 8, you had to win them in a text lottery. After explaining this for 15 minutes she came out with this gem:

Evelyn Bergman: "So, if I can't buy tickets for that, how the hell do I get into this G8 thing?"

Having had enough as it was 8 in the morning and i'd been there for 2 hours, I politely informed her that you had to be the elected president or prime minister of one of the 8 largest economic countries in the world. Just when it couldn't get any better....

Evelyn Bergman: So it's not a concert then huh?

Me: No madam
