Biggest opportunity I've blownNot Alan Partridge tells us: "I was once offered the chance to co-present a programme on national radio. Audience of millions, but blew up spectacularly, my entire contribution being the rustling of paper in the background. I was that bad, I have since burned my copy of the pilot show." Tell us about your big break, and how you messed it up.

I don't knowHow do you know if you've blown it?
I was once offered the job - no questions, no hesitation, they wanted me - as area Ops Manager for a major bus group (my old line of work). I turned it down because it would have meant living in South London and I didn't want to do that at the time.
That could have been good - UK bus businesses are now running the public transport systems around the world, it's something we do well.
Thing is, I'm quite happy now in a totally different business.
The point, then - and this has been extensively worried about in previous posts - it doesn't matter. If you're going to lick your wounds about missed opportunities you aren't trying.
