He Was On A Hot Streak
A Norfolk barman closed the till hid the day’s taking - about £1,000 - in a hot oven after his boss told him to put it in a "safe" place. The horrified landlord said: "When I got to the kitchen and smelt the burning, I realised he was serious." The Bank of England has said some notes may still be useable if their serial numbers are legible.
FOOTNOTE: Crisp notes.

Not The Free Tenners
In For A Penny, In For A Pound
They're laughing all the way to the bank, er, blank. English ten pound notes have been selling on eBay for £260. The tenners are unique because they're blank on one side. The Bank of England accidentally circulated up to 40 of the one-sided notes, which it says still count as legal tender. Chris Phillips, 27, of South Shields, got one of the notes when he went to a cash-point. He said: "They're selling for crazy money."
