People

who

live

in

Britain

needn't

despair

when

they

made

mistakes

like

this

(and

a

lot

of

people

do)!

Fortunately

for

them,

the

Bank

of

England

has

a

team

called

Mutilated

Ladies

which

deals

with

claims

from

people

who

fed

their

money

to

a

machine

or

to

their

dog.

Dogs,

it

seems,

love

to

chew

up

money!

A

recent

case

concerns

Jane

Butlin

whose

fiancé,

John,

runs

a

successful

furniture

business.

John

had

very

good

day

and

put

his

wallet

containing

$3,000

into

the

microwave

oven

for

safekeeping.

Then

he

and

Jane

went

horse-riding.

When

they

got

home,

Jane

cooked

their

dinner

in

the

microwave

oven

and

without

realizing

it,

cooked

her

fiancé's

wallet

as

well.

Imagine

their

dismay

when

they

found

a

beautifully-cooked

wallet

and

notes

turned

to

ash!

John

went

to

see

his

bank

manager

who

sent

the

remains

of

wallet

and

the

money

to

the

special

department

of

the

Bank

of

England

in

Newcastle:

the

Mutilate

Ladies!

They

examined

the

remain

and

John

got

all

his

money

back.

'So

as

there's

something

we

will
