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!"

This story is HONESTLY TRUE.
I once went for a holiday in Bournemouth. Whilst taking a stroll down the promenade, two Americans were walking in the other direction. The female of the two exclaimed, in a typical American accent, "Hey Eugene! look at these British trash cans!" her partner replied, "Yeah I'll just get my camera". The man then preceded to take several photos of the British 'trash can', including one of his partner stood next to it.

It was just a sodding bin.
