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".

Another Heathrow Airport story.I've just remembered:
You know the "high lift" trucks, sometimes called "cherry pickers"?
Well, a guy called Andy backed one into the engine of an Air India jumbo. The flight was grounded, 400 passengers had to be put up overnight, another aircraft had to be dispatched, not to mention fuel and repair costs etc...
I believe this put a dent in the insurance to the tune of about £4 million...
