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!"

Damn American TouristsMy sister works in Hampton Court Palace and she is quite interested in history. Which helps I'm sure. Anyhoo, she was mortally shocked to hear an American teacher, leading a waddling group of 10 year old obese septics through Clock Court at the Palace, pronounce to all that may have been listening that Henry VIII was a fictional character. I'm sure Anne Boleyn and Kathryn Howard wish he was.
