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!"

Been there
The Durham unis full of german graduate students and most of them are indeed top blokes. One did ask us why we where all wearing poppies. Que the uncomfortable sideways glances at each other.
I remember an american student we had over once who spent his time loudly proclaiming how Britian and the US whooped German ass and how the French should basically suck us off for this. All this in front of very uncomfortable looking German and French students.
He was an ace bloke.
