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!"

a mate of mine.....
.....used to work in the ticket office of a glasgow railway station. Along comes a Yank and his wife, conversation goes....
Yank - Yeah, we need two returns to glasgow central please
My Mate - That'll be £4.00 please
Yank - Oh hang on sonny, i gotta go into ma wife's fanny bag for some cash.
(apparently in US a fanny bag is what we'd call a bum bag)
my mate had to get the other girl to serve the bloke whilst he rifled his wife's "fanny bag" as he quite literally wet'em!
