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!"

Beware who may speak English....
While at a festival in Belgium a friend of mine went to a burger to stall to buy one their particularly questionable burgers.
He went up the guy, assuming he was Belgian, and asked for a Ratburger, the guy turned round, got him a burger and then with a smile and an American accent in perfect English said 'Enjoy your Ratburger mate'
