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!"

EinbahnstrasseOn my first trip to Germany I spent days marvelling at the fact that every town seemed to have at least a dozen streets named Einbahnstrasse. I though it must be very confusing for the Post Office, among others, until it was pointed out to me that it was German for One Way Street....
D'Oh! At least I was only there with a couple of mates and didn't make an arse of myself in front of anyone else.
