Deal or no Deal?

There’s a crime­wave in south­ern Eng­land. Deal Town Coun­cil have been been reck­lessly using the coat of Arms gran­ted to Deal Bor­ough Coun­cil in 1968. As her­aldry afi­cion­ados will know, Deal Town Coun­cil cov­ers a slightly dif­fer­ent area than Deal Bor­ough Coun­cil. There­fore there’s been a stretch of almost 40 years of law-breaking since the bor­ough coun­cil was dis­ban­ded in 1974.

Deal Town FC have also been told their kit is illegal due to their badge. Pre­sum­ably because people might con­fuse them with the entirely non-existent Deal Bor­ough FC.
