My American tourist anecdote is seeing an American lady ask “Which direction will the train be travelling in?” - it was at the start of the line, and so could only go in one direction.

To her credit, she did manage to figure it out in mere minutes, and had a laugh at her own expense.

Ah, but Alex, Prince Philip is Greek, so we can poke fun at him all we like, the big-nosed racist twat! Hohoh, the hypocrisy.

Gotta love it.

There are American twats and plenty of them. I just get bored of anecdotes about them. A part of me dies every time I hear another lazy stand up saying “have we got any Americans in tonight?”

Carry on.

And, my thin-skinned friend Rodafowa, one of the highlights of the trip was a visit to Fallingwater.

I’m not the one still apparently fuming after a light-hearted comment made two days ago, chum.

Who’s lost their sense of humour, again?

It’s mid-afternoon. An American tourist asks a gift shop assistant at Canterbury Cathedral where all the monks are.

“There haven’t been any monks here since 1539.”

The tourist looks at her watch, then looks at her friend and says “Damn it, we just missed them.”

Runners up for the stupid question prize while I was working there were “Who shot Beckett?” and, at the ice cream kiosk, while stood staring at an ice cream machine and a large tower of plastic cups and spoons, “What’s ice cream in a cup?”

Bless them. It’s only British tourists who are as stupid about as regularly as (some of) the Merkin ones.

I’m not racist… I think everyone’s an utter twat, without exception or preference.

To be fair to James, or rather to be unfair to Americans, in Britain we vilify our idiots and poke fun at them, but in the U.S. they make them President.

On the other hand we have Prince Phillip. Fuck.
