Yes, Derry City Council exists there :wink: . I should have called it the 'Maiden City'.
The tour guide actually started off with the naming of the City and the arguments it causes. Basically said you can call it what you want & nobody gives a sh_it. During the City of Culture year it was called 'LegenDerry'. It's funny because on the drive over most of the road signs have the London part spray painted over. Mad place.

When I used to work for the Times, our style was to say Londonderry, except in specific situations when it was more sensitive to use Derry for stories in Nationalists/Catholics. Good to see McGuinness's funeral plastered over the front page with Londonderry as the setting
Aye it's the same with the reporting here. I would call it Derry the odd time depending on who I'm trying not to offend. Referring to Northern Ireland as 'The North' seems to becoming more prevalent in the media. Although, I would never refer to Northern Ireland as 'The North' as that's complete b_ollocks.
All that aside Northern Ireland has come a long way. Great country, steeped in history & peaceful. Some trivial issues shouldn't detract from that.

Not bad, all the same.
