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!"

Pizza place
My extremely Scottish mate was trying to order a pizza in Florida.
"Cheese and tomato pizza please"
"Pardon"
"Cheese and tomato pizza please"
"What?"
"Cheese. And. Tomato. Pizza. Please."
"Oh sorry, I couldn't understand your English accent."
Apparently his dad had to drag him out of there otherwise there would've been a 'diplomatic incident'
