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!"

For FrogServoyeah, Versailles. Famous place in Ohio. Oh, wait, merkins won't get that sarcasm.
That's about as annoying as when I mentioned to a Merkin that I had lived in Paris for a year. He asked me how, as an Englishman, I'd managed to cope with the Texas climate.
And before you try and justify it, we were both standing on the Champs Elysees at the time.
