Both the city and county should be officially called Londonderry but in speech it should officially be shortened to Derry and it should be incorrect to call it as it is written. That way nobody has to use the ridiculous mouthful while keeping these super sensitive Protestants happy.
Depends if you are chatting about Londonderry people or Derry people.
The county and city are both officially called Londonderry.
I go over from the south regularly to shop and I call it Derry...however I couldn't care less if the signs say Londonderry..what's more important to me is that Screwfix don't ever close down their click and collect depot....its very handy!!
Although it's funny how the rebs paint over the London part on signposts, it just highlights their stupidity and draws attention to the proper name.
Yes.
At the end of the day - you Unionists will call it what we Irish tell you to call it.
Well good for you.
Was the people who called it Londonderry from the city?
Sorry, didn't get there addresses
Thanks. I am surprised that you cannot tell if someone is from Derry by the way that they talk.
The people from Londonderry live outside the Bog and the Creggan, you know.
Yes? I do know people from different parts of that city.
Well,
Of course I blame the Prods. They're the ones who are refusing to call it Derry despite having their choice of official name. It's just typical-you want everything your own way. Otherwise you wouldn't be jumping down my throat at my perfectly reasonable solution which preserves your security blanket while avoiding the blot on the English language that doubling the number of syllables imposes. For God's sake man up. Londonderry is for people who want to live in London not Derry. It's time yee came out from under yeer mammies skirts and flew the nest after three centuries.
Now that the Republic is bestest economic country in the World, could you arrange to start paying back all the money you received off the UK to pay your EU grants.
