The best one (possibly apocryphal) I have heard was a foreign woman at
Paddington who wanted to get to Turkey (presumably via Heathrow) but
was sold a ticket and put on the train to Torquay.
A woman with an eastern european accent once stopped me in Paddington
underground station, and asked how she could get to Sweden. I soon
discovered that she meant Swindon.
A former colleague, who was approached by a blonde lady in pub who was
from Sweden, thought that she was from Swindon.
Must have been her accent
