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!"

Bad planningSimilar to the Edinburgh castle story earlier, my taxi driver told me this story about 2 American passengers he drove to Heathrow the previous day. Nearing the airport on the M4 they asked which castle they could see. The driver replied 'that's Windsor castle, where the Queen lives'. 'Oh, really', said the tourist, 'it seems a shame they built it so close to the motorway'. Perfect!
