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!"

STOOOPID TOURIST......was me. When at colege, we stayed just outside Rome in a hotel, with an Italian geezer who every morning would pour tea if you asked for coffee, and vice versa. All week he never said a word, despite attempts to speak English and Italian to him. Every morning, the wrong drink still poured.
On the last day, as we were leaving, he walked past the group and said: "See you later me old muckers. Have a good trip home." He was a cockney.
I wish I'd realised at the time, and not after arriving home, that he said that to us as he walked past wearing my rather expensive leather jacket.
Muddy Funster.
