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!"

Re: Shalroth's post
and we pronounce France 'frans', and the 's' in Paris, and Germany is actually pronounced 'Deutchland', and Munich 'Munchen', I could go on...
Stupid English people...
(shame an English person has to point out the ludicrousness of so many English getting angry at foreigners mispronouncing their localities names, but if no bugger else is gonna do it!)
