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!"

not a cunning linguist (unlike Mr Bond)I used to live in Thailand managing to get quite good at speaking Thai, there was one area where i used to resort to the queens engrish. When ordering fried banana from the street sellers as their words for banana and Penis differ a ridiculously small amount.
