Stupid Tourists
What'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!"

Rooster...
I worked in a shop in Bath that sold stationery, cards, and sundry knick-knacks to tourists... One summer, as part of the window display, we had on sale a large, hand-painted fire screen in the shape of a chicken which prompted a Spanish woman to enter the shop and ask loudly: "How much is the big cock in the window?"
