This morning - for the first time since 1969 when I began taking note - I heard a reporter on a BBC station say "Derry" instead of "Londonderry". It was only in a long list of airports likely to be closed by the recurrence of volcanic ash in the air, so he might have got away with it. Or he might be admonished. Let's hope he doesn't get the sack.
