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!"

Not really a tourist but anyway...
My girlfriend's little brother appears to have mildly broken himself recently and so was escorted by his mother to hospital. Maybe about a week or so ago.
The doctor is Romanian, so the mother decides to strike up a conversation.
"What language are you speaking?" says she. which of course leads the doctor to say, "at the moment, English".
