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!"

Quoted for posterity:
"A Large American Lady after walking for 5 minutes
"Why couldn't they have built windsor castle closer to the tube station?"
Fat AND stupid."
Jabboy - Apart from this story being an urban myth that's been regurgitated here about 20 times so far, it's worth noting that Windsor doesn't even have a tube station, as it's outside London, 25 miles down the M4. This therefore makes you stupider. And possibly fatter. And you're not even a tourist - fuck knows how you'd do if you ever went abroad ;)
