Saint Peter's dropped one of his keys, for starters. |  |

They are often referred to as the "keys to heaven" I’ve been to Peterborough. Heaven it’s not. [Post edited 31 May 23:37]

According to my edition of Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (with a foreword by Terry Pratchett) that traditonal explanation of POSH "is almost certainly fictitious", the dictionary assuming it was just a slang word for a "dandy". The club's nickname, of course, was due to Fletton Utd manager Pat Tirrell's desire to find "posh (i.e. good) new players for a posh new team." As for your assertion with regards to the town itself, I can only concur. |  |

I worked in Peterborough for over a year and I think you will find that it is a city, it has a cathedral and everything. I mean what type of conurbation with a cathedral and a league football team could rank so very, very far below a town ? |  |

If that's the case, it's very poorly executed. It looks more like a silhouette/shadow, and St Peter's Keys are traditionally crossed, rather than stacked. A pretty damning indictment of their 'engagement exercise': |  |

There’s a negative space cross IN the keys, if that helps… Personally, think it looks awful, but I’ve not seen the rest of the brief. |  |
