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!"

ParisThis woman was with her mates having dinner and was chatting to the waiter in French (which she can speak "fluently" after a few glasses of wine) and got stuck on a word. The waiter said he would call the manager who spoke perfect English to tell her the French word. The manager came over and asked what the word was in English, she said "Restaurant".
Oh sod it, it was me :)
As soon as the word left my mouth I realised. My mates and I burst out laughing and the waiter stomped off in a huff thinking we were taking the piss.
*cringe*
