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 Mer'kins I'm Afraid
Slight twist on the question this, while I was the tourist in America, the conversation went thus:
Me: Something in english (can't remember what)
Bint: WOW you're inglish
Me: Why yes (while wanting to say no shit sherlock)
Bint: I've been to Ingland
Me:...
Bint: yeah I've been to London, Liverpool, Scotland, I've seen all of Ingland
Me: walks away......
Sorry it's not so amusing but I was worn out with the clagnuts story.... (see last weeks FP)
