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!"

Some friends had an American exchange student for a couple of days
On the first day, when we were staying somewhere, he asked me when the traditional time was for a cup of tea in England. After he fell asleep discovering how much stronger weed we have here, we decided to wake him up to tell him that the traditional time was 4am on a Sunday morning. Nice chap though.
