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!"

More Cruelty than Stupidity, really
If you know Oxford, you may know the Martyrs Memorial.

Or, if you're feeling goadful, it's the spire of a wonderful underground Cathedral - access is via the steps just to the side of it...which take you into some grotty loos :)
