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".

Hmmm......only two things wrong with this as far as I can see.
1. Every piece of expenditure in the procurement area of MoD needs 3 signitures - the project manager to approve the work, commercial to ensure that it is on a legal contract and finance to ensure that the funds are available to pay for it.
2. The story is an urban myth. Last time I heard it the planes were Israeli and the guard was swinging on the wings.
hey ho.
