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!"

Australians in CanadaI took my mother and wife to a mall here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We went into one store so my mum could look at nice jumpers for dad, and got talking to the shop assistants.
One said 'Oh, where are you lot from?' and we explained that we were all from England, but that my wife and I had been living in Canada for a few years.
'Good, I'm glad you're not Australian, they keep coming in here and pointing at the clothes and laughing their heads off.'
We thought about it for a while, and then giggled. The store in question was 'Roots'...
