Lesson 7 Mutilated ladies 残钞鉴别组
Has it ever happened 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 neednt despair when they make 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 fianc é , John, runs a successful furniture
business. John had a 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 fianc é 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 Mutilated Ladies! They examined the remains and John got all his money
back. ‘So long as theres something to identify, we will give people their money back,
said a spokeswoman for the Bank. ‘Last year, we paid£1.5m on 21,000 claims.
* Damaged bank notes. The Queens head appears on English bank n otes, and ‘lady
refers to this.
