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!"

Sadly, I was a tourist at the time...In London, with an Educational Tour Company, (EF Tours, the evil blue bag bearing herds of 'mericans)... We had seperated from the tour group, as we (my family and I) didn't exactly want to eat at Burger King in London. Hell, I can eat at Burger King at home. After eating a wonderful lunch in a small, cozy pub, we met back up at the tube station... This older woman with our tour group asked "Where did ya'll go for lunch?". To which I responded, "Some pub, it was awesome.". Her statement following that was something to the effect of...
"Ewww, I can't believe you would eat the local food!"
I may be an American by birth, but I don't willingly claim to be from her 'neck of the woods'.
