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!"

« Go Back
On a recent vist to the continent......well, on the way back, a friend and I were talking to guy from Texas on the coach to Calis, and he was asking about how to get to 'Tur-key'.
Anyway, after further investigation and slight bewilderment on my part that he was coming to England in the first place. It turned out that he was actually talking about Torquay.
Oh, how we laughed (at him).
