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!"

One summer in Hong KongI worked in a bar in Wan Chai and one of the other barmen was a Chinese chap who was looking forward to going to England in a couple of months for a holiday.
He knew that the English had many phrases for drinking eg "cheers" or "bottoms up" and he wanted to learn more.
We told him that "happy wanking" was a very common salutaion when chinking glasses.
anybody ever have a drink with this guy?
