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!"

When I went with friends to London in 1994 we fell in love with Covent Garden.Maybe if you life there, it's a tourist trap with a lot of not-so-funny cunts, but we loved it. So imagine our excitement went we found out (looking at a map of London)that there wasn't just Covent Garden but even "New Covent Garden"! I our tiny minds we imagined "New and improved" Covent Garden being even better than the thing at St. Paul's. It was a bit difficult to get there, though. You had to take the tube, get a bus and then even walk a bit. We even went to look if it was behind this HUGE GROCERY STOREHOUSE before we finally realised our mistake.
