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".

Eh?The Americans never thought that a billion is 100 million!
It used to be the case that a British billion was a million million and an American billion was a thousand million.
However, these days everyone uses the American billion, including the British officially.
One of those things I guess, like foreign English students speaking with American accents. Bah.
