L7(1):Mutilated ladies
ɛl7(1):ˈmjuːtɪleɪtɪd ˈleɪdɪz
Has it ever happen to you? Have you ever put your trousers in the washing machine and then remembered there was a large bank note in your back pocket? When you rescued your trousers, did you find the note was whiter than white?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.
