This is a question Expensive Mistakes

coopsweb 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".

I was in Ullapool
on my way to Stornoway a couple of winters back. After a snowy journey from Inverness, we arrived at the town boundary, where a sign proclaimed, "Welcome to Ullapool".

My mate Iain, who was driving, said with a wry chuckle, "Aye, ye're fucking welcome to it!"

Also, there's a chippy across from the CalMac pier which has signs up to say "Good fish isn't cheap" and "Cheap fish isn't good".

Fair enough. But theirs was neither good nor cheap.

I love this new reply feature. I can write utter crap and get away with it.

[waits for flak]
