Dear Queen McKim,

As a person from Derry / Londonderry, I am much intrigued by your phrase
"the English invaded right". Are you suggesting that the English had
"invaded wrong" at some other time? Or that they "invaded left" in some
other part of Ireland?

And as for "It was called something previously" - wasn't it deucedly smart
of the Irish to have an actual name for a place in their country? Clever
fellows, these Irish - imagine having names for places!

The extent of some people's research never ceases to amaze me.

Cordially,

P A MagLOCHLAINN
Belfast, Northern Ireland
