Right following on from the Poppy thread, whilst poppies don't annoy me the whole Derry thing really pisses me off.
The people from the "other side" that I know normally call it Derry, only occasionally the "L" word, normally when trying to empathise their culture.
I was just wondering how do the posters on here call it?

FFS - What do you think the majority of people on here will call it?
Also, is L'Derry Spanish or something?

Knowing the eejits on here there will be a variety of answers.

As for the "L" thing have you never travelled on translink or ulsterbus?

This seems to be familiar ground.

Newton Emerson has it right:-

County Derry.
Derry City.
Area inside the old city walls - Londonderry.

Would it not be West Antrim or East Donegal? North Tyrone?

Like yourself, don't give two toots about Poppys. Derry's official name bugs me though.
