It is town in Northern Ireland. Many people like to address Londonderry as Derry, which is bizarre and delusional because they cannot get over the fact that LONDONderry is part of the United Kingdom (forever and ever), NOT Republic of Ireland. The British Monarchy will reign over Londonderry for the next 1,000 years and more. Long live Queen Elizabeth II. So hands off, Irish and Nationalists! Go and get a life of your own and stay off British soil!
A: May I know the way to Derry, Ireland?
B: You fool! There is no such thing as Derry in Ireland, only Londonderry in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.
A: I'm so sorry. I am just a ignorant imbecile who should have know better than to make a fool of myself than to use that embarrassing and foolish term.
B: I forgive you, and most importantly, the Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland forgives you too.
