‘Uncanny’? Not!

.
You do read some tosh in the newspapers sometimes.

Take, for example, the one-inch copper badge of England, thought to have been part of a 13th-century horse harness, that was recently found in a medieval stone wall in Coventry. The badge features the three lions of England which also forms the England football team’s logo.

A spokesman for the Football Association said the resemblance of the badge to the England logo was ‘uncanny’.

Doesn’t he know that the three lions passant have been used in the royal coat of arms since the time of Henry II in the 12th century?
