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!"

Tales from the darkside.....Of the Atlantic...
The crazy blokes from the 'soon to be huge Wigan rock gods' Moco, on their first USA mini-tour. Out on the lash in San Francisco one evening and a merkin on the next table in the bar leans over and says to the drummer (Si) "Hey - you guys english? I love your accent. Say something!!!"
Si: Fuck Off
Merkin: Wow - thats great! (tries to say fuck off in a wigan accent)
Si: Fuck Off!!!
Merkin: Foooook arrrrfff (trying to do the accent)
Si: Look - just FUCK OFF!!!
Merkin: Heh heh heh. Awesome! Fooook aaaaarfff (tries the accent again)
The bloke managed to hang around long enough to get on some photographs, the cheeky, not getting the message fucker.
Who says us Brits dont travel well?
