Love how Brit archaeologists can barely stomach using the C word (Celtic), for political reasons, and have to use the phrase "Iron Age" instead. Imagine if they treated the Romans like this, then they would have to refer to Roman Britain continually as "the Classical Period" or "Classical Britain". (Never mind that the Romans themselves were an Iron Age people.)

Being the BBC, they also have to note all the CBEs that certain individuals have. Got to honour that Royal Charter.
