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!"

Canterbury, City Of Tourist Destruction
Apparently, Canterbury is second only to venice in the number of day-tourists it gets. As a result there are several stupid tourist moments:
1. Hysterically sterotypical "fat american tourist" saying that it was such a shame that the catherdral had been demolished (?!?!?!?!).
2. Japenease tourists taking pictures of me and my frinds in our school uniforms, when asked why they replied "no one will belive us that people in britain are employed so young". (he may have been trying to joke).
3. A french kid shouted "You have sunk my battleship!" In a side splittingly funny way. Oftan repeated by me and freinds to much laughter.
