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!"

for BRHI made the "Tak" mistake in Poland too (previously learnt Norwegian, with endless confusion) Just to remind you, the Polish "Thank you" is "Dziêkuje" (jen-koo-yah) COmbine that with the "prosze" (prosher) and you get a language based mainly on elegant sneezes.
