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!"

My sister ...who isn't at all American, but instead lives in Manchester.
Went to stay with her and hubby at their new house and they took us to the newish Imperial War Museum building at Salford Quays. (http://www.manchester2002-uk.com/museums/museums2a.html)
As you now know, the rather interesting building is made up of 3 'shards' representing conflict on land, sea and air.
What it certainly doesn't represent is 70's funkmeisters Earth, Wind & Fire, which is what my sister would have you believe. Laugh, I nearly fell off the nearby Lowry Bridge (which incidentally, was designed by the same architect.
Informing AND entertaining, all in one post.
