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!"

CyclopsTexas dictionary: wun= one, ma'yam= ma'am, hyave= have, ah = eye, myiddle = middle, uhv = of, haayd = head.
When in America (Oh, God I hear you think), there was a group decision to take a historical tour. From the moment we started we knew we were in for it. This was a tour for Forrest Gump. Anyhu we stuck through, bravely. As we got to a historical monument the kind bimbo directing the tour pointed out the necessaries; 'This here is the admiral [I forget], who only had one eye!' After thhis stirring speech a man at the back stood up and said in a George Dubya accent 'Excuse me ma'yam, but did he hyave thet wun ah in the myiddle uhv his haayd?'
