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!"

The british.... arfI was in a restaurant, and I heard a silly northern english tourist (sounded a bit newcastley... is jeordie the word? I forget.) ask for a 'beefburger'. A beefburger. Strange. I politely corrected him, telling him it was called a hamburger.
His reply: 'But it's made of beef, not ham, isn't it?'
I tell you, bloody silly English don't even speak our language properly. Don't they have schools over there? I swear.
