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!"

British History Re-written by yanksOne time back in school a few years ago we were on a geography field trip to Kendal and me and my friend were sat on a wall eating our lunch when some yanks walked by, dressed like they'd just come out of harrods wearing huge cameras et al.. and the lead yank was showing off to the people he was with about his knowledge of "british history", apparently the city of York is named after the Crusades... here was me thinking it was named by the Romans 1900 years ago. Thank you Mr Yank for correcting me!
