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".

Nice houseThere was a nice house on the market in Hertford; suited my needs, affordable on my salary.
So I phoned the agents (known to many as Bastards and Thieves)and asked to view. They kept changing viewing dates and otherwise putting me off. I lost interest.
The house was sold for about £45k (it was very small). Two months later it was back on the market for £60k.
Call me suspicious, but I wouldn't be surprised if an employee of Bastards and Thieves (whose office is just a stone's throw from said property) undervalued the house, got a mate to buy it....
Two months; £15k profit? That could have been mine if I wasn't so lazy.

ehi bought a flat 8 years ago in hertford, it was the smallest and cheapest place on the market and it was £110K. So you must have seen a shed.
