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!"

A couple of years back, I went to Alton Towers with two friends -
Claire and Sarah. It was raining, so the place was pretty empty, there only seemed to be us, a few families and a group of French exchange kids. During the afternoon the kids took to following us around, jabbering away in french, assuming we wouldn't understand they were calling us 'dumb english bitches' and so on.
Sarah lived in Mauritius til she was ten, French is her first language, so after an hour or so she turned round and said (in perfect French)'You really should be more careful who you talk about, I've understood everything you said, and unless you piss off now I'll go find your teacher and tell her exactly what you've been saying, you stupid little motherfuckers.'
They scarpered pretty quickly, tails between (frogs) legs.
