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!"

John Rennonfinally, b3ta embraces racism!
Anyway, here's my one. I live in Liverpool and there's a nice dive of a pub called 'Ye Cracke' that has been around (with largely the same clientele) since the sixties. It is a)a down at heel place, mixture of locals and students, b)a place were celebrated gobshite John Lennon used to dink.
My friend used to work there when a coach load of japanese tourists came in and asked what JL used to drink. WTF? they pointed at the most expensive guest ale and hoped to be serving a monster round of it. Instead they bought one and all stood around to be photographed with it. wierdos.
