How much of a miserable cunt do you have to be to complain over something like that?

I don’t even understand what the issue is, the name Londonderry doesn’t have an “A” in its name, and I wouldn’t be surprised if for the purposes of their survey they rolled both answers together, and would accept either.
Sounds like someone from Ballylondon or Duncambridge had too much time on their hands.

People have very little to do with their time don’t they?
They also probably accepted Newcastle as a correct answer – because that’s what people know it as, and people say it for brevity. Even the staunchest PUL lads will say Derry.

Well the answer was correct if you call it Derry or ~~London~~derry

Such a non-argument.
Call it what you want, let others call it what they want. If the supremacists among us could just live and let live we’d all lead happier lives (especially them).

Sure aren’t they both pronounced “Derry” anyways?

Have to say the BBC and the complaints procedure came to the only sensible conclusion. It’s only a controversy amongst a particularly narrow minded type with far too much time on their hands.
If we were all to get pedantic about it, the only fair compromise is to rename London to Derrylondon (EN)/ Doirelondain (IE) / Derlundain (CY)
