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!"

My sisterDuring a road trip in California a few years ago, my sister came out with the following gems.
(On seeing a sign with the emergency phone number): This town has 911 people.
(On seeing a sign showing the name of the company that sponsored that section of the road - you know, for litter-picking and stuff): This town is called Birkenstock.
(On seeing a sign for Sausalito): Is Sausalito a type of sausage?
(On seeing the forest fires on telly): Don't the forests look pretty? (Pause) Apart from being on fire.
