Stupid Tourists
What'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!"

In Paris
I was waiting in a queue at Notredame with my girlfriend. At the head of the queue was the sign showing the way to climb the towers (obviously "tours" in French).
Cue fat Merkin ahead of me suddenly noticing the sign and shouting to his wife - "Tour? we don't need no tour." and wandering off...
Oh how i laughed.
