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!"

Confused Japanese touristsOn a bus route which runs by the Millennium Dome, a group of tourists got off about 30 stops early after mistaking the "big" top of a travelling circus on a shitty little park in Lewisham for the spiky Dutch cap in Greenwich. I'd never seen so many Nikon cameras swing in action quite so quickly.
This, incidentally, was only the second time ever that I'd seen a bus driver laugh. The first time was when they'd first got on and asked for "ten bus chairs for Dome". He was laughing so hard that he nearly caused a pile up.
