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!"

Techincally not a tourist - but anyhoo...
My friend Lucy came to visit my house from hers (about a mile away) - so a tourist in some respect*
She managed to come out with two classics:
"The bleep on buses (when 'Bus stopping') is for DEAF people"
and apparently "Blind people can see through their eyelids"
Bless her little 90% cotton 10% polyester socks!
:-)
* This may be a lie - it all depends on the fate of New Zealand (Damn the ferrets and their fuzzy goodness)
