Had this for a while now, noticed the top corner and thought it was a bit of a curio.

I'm assuming it's merely damage, but wanted to get your opinions anyway (apologies for the pictures, though they'll probably be good enough to illustrate what is there)

Hiya, yes, this is in fact damage - the curl of the tear is typical for the polymer notes. As soon as the edge is compromised by a ding or a small incision, its only a matter of time before it looses a chunk.

Two folds and a missing corner. It would be a spender IMO.

Maybe a mouse or moth at home?

Thought it was damage, nice to get confirmation. Still think it's fairly cool so going to keep it anyway as a small curiosity :)

@arianzo It definitely isn't a mouse or a moth from my house - I got it from circulation that way! :)

At least twice I've pulled a £5 out of the wallet to find myself holding half a note! Once didn't notice until I was handing it over. The slightest edge fault and they snap into two.
