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!"

And henceforth, it shall be known as the MiddlelandsBoth these incidents happened while I was staying at my Aunty's quaint little barn conversion in a quaint little village in France, we dont get many tourists round there (thank god) but when we do, they come out with classics'
In the Super U, a very disgruntled British couple who couldn't believe 'they don't even sell bisto!!'
A young guy from Hollywood asking me if there are coyotes in this part of France. I said not, he then asked if we get them where I come from in the 'Middlelands'. He was so proud that he could name a place in England other than London, bless him.
I think Middlelands has a certain ring to it though......
