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!"

My parents. The Seventies. The USA.
In a cab:
Driver: 'Where you from?'
Them 'England.'
'Where?'
'England'
'Never heard of it.'
'You know... England? Um... London? The Beatles? the Rolling Stones?'
'Sorry, I don't speak your language.'
