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!"

Stupid tourist in my home country!Flew back to England last week after 6 years in California. As my cellphone won't work here, I had to call my mum from a phone booth to let her know I'd landed at Heathrow. Took about 5 minutes before I remembered the phone wouldn't take quarters.
As I had 4 hours to wait at Kings Cross for my train to Hell, I popped into a bar (Coopers, nice place) and tried paying with dollars.
On a stupid Merkin note, my husbands mom called him last Thursday and told him to tell me to get out of England as it wasn't safe.
