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!"

CanadiansAt the moment i'm travelling around Australia, so i get to witness stupidity from locals and other tourists as well. The country which currently ranks as #1 for stupidity in my book is Canada.
Whilst in the supermarket,i heard a conversation between a whole group of Canadian backpackers who couldn't work out whether 'tomato sauce' and 'tomato ketchup' were the same thing(obviously the cheaper store own brands are simply labelled 'tomato sauce').
The fact that both products were side by side in the condiments section obviously bypassed them, and after a good 10 minutes of arguing about it, they spent their hard earned dollars on the more expensive Heinz ketchup brand, 'just to make sure'.
Obviously chaos would have ensued if they'd bought a bottle simply labelled 'tomato sauce' for a few dollars less.
