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!"

EdinburghCorrect, Edinburgh is not in England. And it doesn't contain the letter o either. "Here's your boarding card from Detroit to London, and your onward one to Edinboro, sir". WTF?
But I do have fun correcting the offenders politely, because they get all apologetic if you do it nicely!
