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".

My Great UncleWas a toolmaker in some factory too, he made a similar mistake (though not with a lathe, this was with a cutting tool) He used to like this particular machine and used ti for any job, big or small.
One day he tried it with some really small cutting job...and lost 3 of the fingers on his right hand. Ouch!
Still, at least he lived to realise his mistake..
