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!"

York Tourist Guide (unofficial)Whilst walking around York one day I convinced some americans that the Romans used to live in caves that they had stolen from the Vikings and that is why you have to dig so deep to find their remains, the best bit was when the “smart” one of the group explained to his fellow country men that the reason that the Romans did not stay in america was because there was not enough caves for them all.
I also explained the flashing lights on zebra crossings meant it was too dangerous to cross at that time and they should wait until the lights stopped flashing.
I think I might have taken it to far when I explained that the City Walls where built to mark the boundary of a cricket pitch and the Tower was a giant beacon that was used to light the city during the dark ages.
