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!"

Right. That's it.I've read far too may posts taking the piss out of tourists visiting the UK who can't pronounce 'Worchestershire' or 'Warwickshire' or even 'Auchterarder' for God's sake! I hereby cordially invite every person in the UK to visit New Zealand and attempt to pronounce 'Paekakariki' or 'Maunganui' or 'Te Puke'(yes, a real town, Yank tourists love it)correctly. When you fail dismally, I shall be straight back on the board to tell everybody how thick you all are.
Bah.
