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!"

The Sherlock Holmes Museum in LondonAn amazingly tacky place full of Victorian tat and, inexplicibly, drawers full of antiquated underwear. Standing outside, I see a party of Japanese tourists. One middle aged chap comes out to join his gang, wearing the deerstalker and chewing the pipe he just found in the giftshop and, in his excitement, forgot to pay for. The twit at the door dressed as a 1870 Constable loses his cool, grabs him, and starts roughhousing the gear off the poor fool. Meanwhile, his friends and family are having the time of their lives, each one filming the increasingly violent fun through a multitude of high tech gadgets. Best. Day. Out. Ever.
