It's not the London Times! I realise that obviously calling it that helps distinguish it from the New York Times, which is often called 'The Times' for short. And clearly that's why lots of Americans call it that. But as we've seen in Iraq, just becaue lots of Americans do something doesn't make it right. It's just not the London Times. People just don't call it that.The British Times. The English Times. The Times that is printed in Britain. The Murdoch-owned Times. The Times that isn't as good as it used to be (ok perhaps this is not clear either). Even, at a stretch, the Times of London. But not the London Times!
