Surviving in Stroke City

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Gerry Anderson pauses in his life as a radio and TV presenter in Northern
Ireland to reflect, over the next four weeks, on the ironies of living in a Province whose history offers many a snare for the unwary.
1: Biting Your Tongue "Numbed by this complexity, I took to naming the city 'Derry
Stroke Londonderry' and ultimately and finally 'Stroke City'. This new usage rapidly caught on and became a bolthole for those who wish to remain religiously anonymous." Producer Simon Elmes
