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!"

Japanese boyMet a Japanese boy in New York who wanted me to help him with his English homework. He was up to the expression 'As soon as' in his book, and was reading the sentences to me.
"As soon as I get home, I'm going to take a hot bath."
Unfortunately, he prounounced 'bath' as 'bitch'.
