  My point being that if a cheesy pop song from the 70s can safely use the name "Blitz" and be quite succesful I can't see any harm in using the same term 40 years later.

    Using it about a London event shows a degree of historical ignorance that a knowledge of glam rock's excesses is tangential to at best.

      It's a commonly used word over here in the UK, no one finds it offensive/painful to hear - it just means fast/quick.
