Expensive Mistakescoopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"
No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

Saved by an incompetent phone-monkey ...I was going to get Virgin Media in my new flat. I went on t'Interweb and put in my postcode and it didn't list my flat, so I phoned.
New-ish flat, not on phone-monkey's system. Will have to send an Engineer to do a line test.
New-ish flat, not on Engineer booking system, engineer goes to wrong house. Engineer re-books. Branson's Bootspittle goes to wrong house again.
Get previous phone number off Landlord, phone BT. Flat on system. Job done and a lucky escape. Branson's loss, not mine.
