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!"

Movies?I was in Kensington High Street a couple of years ago when I was accosted by two middle aged Americans. They asked me whether there were any "Movie Theaters" in Central London.
I said "Yeah.. there's loads of cinemas in London.. what do you want to see?"
"Cinema? No we want a movie theater" was their reply.
"Go to Leicester Square" I said, now wishing them to be ripped off with the prices there.
"Is that LIE-CHESTER Square? Where the hell is that on the subway".
Rolling my eyes back I told them it was easier to walk through the park. "Thataway!" They needed the exercise anyway.
