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!"

sluff
i spent most of my kiddie life in a town around 15 miles from slough, and everyone there used to call it sluff as a way of putting it down, partly because, as anyone who has been there will know, its more nasty than yo' mumma.
ie:
me : what you up to tonight?
mate : aw i've gotta go to bloody sluff, been roped into watching my sister play
me : rightoh. have fun, mind ya dont get stabbed..
perhaps the tourists picked it up on their way thru windsor?
