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".

Heathrow AirportWhile I was a student I worked as an aircraft cleaner. One incident involved me failing to notice we'd put the wrong safety cards in the first class section of a Virgin airbus.
Obviously none of the exits were marked correctly therefore the flight was delayed until the correct cards were delivered and put out. This took half an hour, incurring a fine of £1000 per minute.
£30k. Oops.
