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!"

Sorry, Minky Monkey...: "Do you have any more Henges in England?"
: Yep, American.
Er, we do have a few, yes. Have a look on Google or Wiki for Seahenge, Woodhenge, Thornbury henges, or just "henge", although Avebury would have been a nice example to direct them to; it's only 20 miles from Stonehenge.
Clearly you don't have to be a tourist (or even an American) to make mistakes about British archaeological sites. Let's keep this to the stories that are actually funny, eh?
