One of my first encounters with a gun-toting Yank on t'internet was a guy who claimed he had visited "Newcastle in Yorkshire"

They never stop...

I remember visiting Cornwall before SatNav. You come up to some junction in the middle of nowhere where 5 roads meet. No signs. Without an OS map you were stuffed.

All the industry seems to be tourism then they hate tourists. How does that work?

Still haven't figured that out myself... But it seems to annoy them even more if you are really friendly.

I once went to Cobh in Ireland and come across a junction on which all three roads had a sign pointing to Cobh. Of course, I took the one which didn't really get you there...
