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!"

We don't have an empire anymore...... but no-one seemed to have told the posh Catholic girl we met in Benares (India).
After reading through the whole of The Times of India - the country's main broadsheet newspaper, she looked up in huge annoyance.
"But there's no English news in there at all! It's all about stupid Indian politics."
Yeah, and everyone here speaks bloody indian as well, don't they darling?
