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!"

FreeeeedommmmPerhaps in an effort to entrap tourists into making fools of themselves the inflight magazine for a Canadian airline explained to travellers flying to Scotland that:
"The Wallace Monument in Stirling was built to commemorate the place where Wallace Simpson camped in 1927, before defeating Edward I in the battle made famous in Mel Gibson's Braveheart."
That'll explain what Mel grew his hair long for the part and wore a skirt. His american accent wasn't very convincing though.
