Stupid TouristsWhat'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!"

meIt wasn't until my second year of uni and a lot of convincing from my new geordie friend, that dsicovered Newcastle was actually in England and not Scotland as I had previously thought...
I've never been great at geography
PS
When I was a kid, and told about why traffic lights beep, I thought it was for the aid of blind drivers too, I was however very young, and realised the truth a bit latter on (some of them also have swivelly metal bits for blind and deaf people, so they can feel when it's safe to cross, (at the very bottom have a look next time)).
