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!"

Geography not a strong point.Standing outside 'The Wellington' accross from Waterloo Bridge, cue middle aged American couple asking me where they fought the battle. Had to say 'from here all the way up to Tower Bridge, the ships couldn't turn'.
I should have went on about how the massive land battle of Trafalgar occurred just up the road.
