Stupid Tourists
What'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!"

It must be the accent...
Walked into Burger King in London town, asked Scandinavian attendant for a Whopper Meal. 'No problem sir, what drink would you like?', Fanta, I reply. 'So, that's a Chicken Royale and a Coffee... would you like anything else?'.
The Whopper Meal I originally ordered would be nice.
I know my Yorkshire accent is strong, but it's not THAT strong.
He apologised, as he was only working to pay for his holiday. Who the hell goes on holiday to work in Burger King???
