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!"

My dadWhen my dad first moved to England, he didn't understand that Cockneys have different accents from Americans. Thus, when introduced to a man named 'Dave', he politely said 'Hello Dive.' How he managed to avoid getting beaten up, I don't know.
He also failed to realise that orange squash needs to be diluted before consuming.
