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!"

They get painted once a yearWhile i had the dubious pleasure of working on the Dover - Calais ferries as a student, plenty of stupid questions were fired at us while we quietly got on with cleaning up children's puke. Things like..."how often do the cliffs get painted?" and "what time do we get to paris?" I can't say they only came from Americans but then non-english speakers were generally completely ignored.
