This Is Apparently What Happens When You Tumble Dry The New £5 Note

This Is Apparently What Happens When You Tumble Dry The New £5 Note

Probably BS.

Most of us have now gotten our hands on one of the new fivers and most of us have tried to rip the bastard in half - in a move that when you think about it, is terrifically insulting to the homeless - to defy the haters, the naysayers and polymer material itself. Here at TheLADbible, we even filmed ourselves attempting to do all this and sort of succeeded after a certain amount of time.

But, boy were we all idiots hammering a nail into Churchill's face. Judging by this photo uploaded to Facebook, simply putting the new fiver through a washing cycle is enough to eviscerate the thing.

If not eviscerate, then just shrink it tremendously. Make it look like some faffy icing decoration on a sixth former's 'look who's off to study accounting at university!' leaving cake.

I'm personally calling bullshit on this one, but I think we'll try it again, this time sticking it in a tumble dryer and then get back to you.
