tourists...

  Two German tourists in the tube:

Woman: "Oh look! They name the stations over here just like the landmarks close to them! You see? St. Pauls, that's named after the church. That makes it easier to find ones way!"

Yeah sure and they just made that for you tourists...
And above all: It's just like in Germany!

from 19 GBP

  Onboard the Stansted Express I overheard three German men who had just arrived and where on their way from the airport to London. They were discussing a billboard advertising flights to Central Europe "19 GBP" and were very unsure about the meaning of the GBP. Until it dawned on one of them that it must GB stands for Great Britain and the P for Ports (ie. airports) - ie. the airline was advertising its flights to Europe leaving from 19 british airports.

The other two were happy with that explanation.
