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!"

Overheard at Edinburgh CastleOne of the best American bloopers I ever heard about was recalled recently in the Scotsman Newspaper - in an interview with a steward who was retiring after working at Edinburgh castle all his life, he was asked what the most bizarre thinh he had ever heard a tourist come out with his reply:
Two Americans standing at the Castle battlements looking north to Fife across the Forth of Firth (merely a few miles away)
"Hey look honey I never realised that you'd be able to see Holland from here"!!
- Once also whilst in California in 2002 I asked a 30ish year old School Teacher from New York how the city had changed since the 911 attacks - her incredibly surprised reply, which still haunts me to this day, "Oh my, YOU heard about that in the UK??" to which her friend, also a teacher, said "Oh yeah they would have - their TV is really good"
Original teacher then said "Oh cool"
