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!"

Where do mountains come from?I nicked this from Cliff Warby:
Greyhound driver en route through Arizona gets asked question from a woman who got on in Kansas.
"What are those things over there?"
"those are mountains, ma'am"
"How did they get there"
"Glaciers bring 'em. Big rivers of ice, y'know?"
"There's no ice there now"
"They go back north in summer to get some more".
Up to a point, Lord Copper, up to a point.
