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".

Ticket To Ride....
When I was young sprog I heard about one pisshead in Newcastle who made a pretty expensive mistake.
He got drunk, didn't have enough cash for a taxi home so pinched a double-decker bus. Obviously he got caught and nicked and the sentence he got was a bit savage. 2 years.
"2 years for pinching a bus" I can hear you all think. "That's a bit harsh."
Well it wasn't the fact that he nicked the bus that pissed off the authorities. It was the fact that the cheeky bastard was stopping at bus stops and picking up passengers - and charging them....
Cheers

In my experience...of the Newcastle bus service, a pissed up twat razzing round the place was probably more efficient and reliable than the current system in place.
