Didn't see anyone throw their toys out of the pram. :But on a side note, how do you know that what you KNOW is correct? Much of our knowledge is gleaned from books isn't it? A lot is handed down. Who's to say what's correct? In the end all we can do is produce evidence and if it conflicts then you make your own judgement.

I think that has the motto on it somewhere Bradford's motto is indeed one of the Latin mottoes written around the walls of the Victoria Hall, inside the Town Hall. I think it was a bit of a poke in the eye for them, as in 'Our Hall's bigger than your Hall'! Apparently, the desire to outdo Bradford & Liverpool Hall-wise was one of the main reasons the Corporation allowed Brodrick to go so over budget... £120k insteand of £40k.It was worth it!

Knew there was a town hall connection. Well, at least ours is bigger than theirs!! (Bradfords Town hall that is!!)In regard to the other point. No-one is infallable, we all make mistakes, but something like a coat of arms if properly investigated is a pretty sure fire thing. If they are both the same chances are they are the same coat of arms!!
