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!"

lochs and guitars
1) Its LOCH ness, not "Lock" ness, its not a lake, its a loch!! And I havn't seen nessie either...
2) A friend's dad started selling guitars on ebay. They were going for around £30, and an american, who obviously didnt understand the concept of currency exchange, thought that was $30. The american got so confused that my friends dad just said "tell you what, you just give me $20 and we'll cancel the order. Which he did. I suppose this isnt really tourist related, ah well.
