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!"

Yanks in quaint Cotswold placesBourton-on-the-Water - a lovely place which, as you'd half expect, is situated on a river. Whilst stood on one of the many bridges, an American couple sidle up to me and I overhear the gentleman say 'Gee Marge, do you think they pump this water round the village?'. He really did look quite perplexed by this flowing river. Bless.
