Derry/Londonderry

[AQMP]

If the London part is offensive (on the weekend when the GAA dined in Westminster) how should BBC NI read out the result of the forthcoming London V Antrim NFL Div 4 game?

Hopefully, London 0-01 Antrim 6-22

If BBC NI didn't have this draconian policy of making its employees use the term "Londonderry" then this probably wouldn't have happened. Most people just say Derry, only Uber Unionists use the long word

What do Prods in Derry / Londonderry call it?

I use to work with a protestant girl from Derry (late 20's). I mind a woman (60's I'd say) who also worked in the office asked her where someone was and the girl said 'Hes gone to Derry' to which the woman replied 'Its Londonderry - don't forget your roots!'

To which the girl replied 'Aye sure whatever suits you!' 

That to me that sort of sums it up its either a generation or bitterness thing - Its a strange thing to grasp to by some in the unionist community! But then again hardline unionists are a strange breed!

Ive an uncle who  is a Protestant from Derry and that's all he calls it

I work, and have worked with plenty, and they all called it Derry.  But nearly all of them write Londonderry!

That's fecking Lies.........

You've never never worked a day in your life.

How is it.If London is not an acceptable part of a County's name in GAA results announcements then on its own it cannot be acceptable either.

That is absurd.

She's not alone in being a bellend.
