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!"

Racism? In the USA?? never....I was a tourist in the States and could be forgiven for opening my gob in this instance. A Merkin man of Scottish descent, accompanied by a Mexican woman and a man of native American descent (I was staying with the former)....all sitting drinking talking of the filthy niggers and such like moving into the neighbourhood....when asked my opinion, I said I was shocked and how would they like to be called a Jock, a Spick or a Red Indian? I did not stay with the family too much longer and was complained about to my parents! Stupid tourist i was!!
