Yes there was. When money is destroyed the people burning it are under constant gaurd, and are searched many times, because bank is so paranoid about any of the notes being stolen. They would never give to anyone, let alone musicians. A story dreampt up by non believers. ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew Shinn To: All bound for Mu-Mu Land.

<P></P>Highly unlikely. The Bank of England has its own facilities for disposing of expired bank notes, they're hardly likely to give to The KLF to dispose of. The Great Train Robbery was a somewhat successful attempt to intercept out of circulation notes on their way to the incinerator. I would imagine the Bank of England would be fairly upset about the fairly slapdash execution, given that some notes only partially burned were found down the coast.<BR> <DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(0,0,255) 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> Don Gagen [mailto:DGagen@EnsembleStudios.com]<BR><B>Sent:</B> Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:59 PM<BR><B>To:</B> 'All bound for Mu-Mu Land.'<BR><B>Subject:</B> [KLF] KLF burn £1,000000 retired quid<BR><BR></FONT>I can't believe no one has commented on this.
