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!"

OK, not a tourist story
But it seems quite relevant
I used to work with a girl and most days Id hear this conversation on the phone (just her end)
.........
My name ? Ill spell it
.........
OK, Glowinski

G.L.O.W.I.N.S.K.I.
Well it made us laugh, if someone offers to spell their name, you can be sure it isnt Jones or Smith.
