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!"

France...Was in France on a family holiday about 10yrs ago. We'd just got back from some day trip somewhere, came back into the hotel and were walking to the room when an old-ish couple walk past in the corridor. Trying to impress, my mum says "Bonjour" in quite a convincing french accent. Cue the couple having looks of horror on their faces, stammering "Bon dure" back at my mother - she'd only gone and picked the English couple who couldn't speak a word of french...
