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".

'sallright...
...I worked for the company that makes those hugely expensive vanes.

We had apprentices making them.
You wouldn't believe the scrap we let through, knowing that Royces couldn't check 'em properly anyway. We knew they were for CHP rather than flight, so we didn't care.

Although, we weren't overly concerned about the flight ones either, come to think of it...
