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!"

Chinese man approached me in Camden Town...
"Where can I find the Kirkus?" he enquired.
I didn't have a clue what he meant.
Minutes later I realised he had wanted the circus.
I wouldn't mind but there wasn't a circus within twenty miles.
