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".

Bike parking skills...Posting this on behalf of a friend who can't post yet, he beith Timy430....
This is the story of how my brand new bike had its life cut short by the evil white transit van:
I had owned this bike for about 15 minutes and was realy pushing it. Speeding down a hill i turned a sharp corner and, in the blink of an eye, found my self parked up the side of a van.
Damage Report:
back wheel buckled
gears stopped working
break pads completley gone
Van was unharmed and i had a lovely round bruise on a majority of my face for about a week. Amazingly i didn't break anything.
Although not very expensive as far as money is concerned, it cost me both my pride and hours of potential enjoyment on my new, now-knackered bike.
