MONEY TO BURN?!

Just as you thought business couldn’t get worse?  Imagine how one Publican felt when they saw their profits go up in smoke – quite literally – in the microwave!

Mr & Mrs McLoughlin, who run The Miners Arms in Bristol were very busy on the evening shift when a staff member emptied the till of notes.  Upon finding the owners busy he decided to put the notes in the microwave for safe keeping.  He took out the plate of food which was already in the microwave and placed the money inside and shut the door – job done, so he thought.  Unfortunately the owner of the plate of food returned to the microwave and turned it on only to find several minutes later, not his piping hot dinner, but several hundred pounds in burnt cash and some upset owners! 

 Luckily our insurers paid out the claim leaving Mr & Mrs McLoughlin very relieved and our underwriters silently chuckling. 

 This left what was a very worried licensee, the butt of many home cooking jokes by his staff and customers, cooking the books is one thing, cooking the cash is another.
