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!"

New ZealandMy brother came over from the UK to visit me in New Zealand. When he arrived in Wellington after driving down from Auckland he expressed his utter dismay at a parking ticket he'd been given. It turned out he'd arrived in a town, seen a sign with a big 'P60' and left his car there for 3 hours. I eventually convinced him it didn't mean there were 60 parking spaces.
