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!"

Why the 'Mercan tales?
To those who wonder why so many of these tales are about Americans, reflect on this. The UK is an expensive country to visit. Only rich people can afford to come here, so that will make for a high proportion of American tourists in the UK,and hence more stories about the stupid ones.
That doesn't explain the scarcity of Canadian stories though, and they're rich too. Hmmmmm.
