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!"

Can't pronounce my own languageIt's bad enough that they mangle English, but one american tourist had the temerity told me that I was mispronouncing the city I lived in.
"It isn't 'Nottingham', it's 'Nardingham', there's no hard "o" in english."
