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".

CATCHY SLOGANA mate of mine managed an advertising agency in London that created a print media campaign for Total Gas in the 1990's based on a project they had undertaken with the Fire Brigade.
Now apparently, Total Gas's field workers wore large protective head gear and visors somewhat similar to those of the Fire Brigade. Using this as the basis for the ad, my mate (without thinking) conceived of, authorised, and spent several hundred thousand quid of client money putting out full page colour ads showing a fireman's head gear underneath a gas worker's head gear, with the immortal tag line:
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US IS THE SHAPE OF OUR HELMETS
Suffice to say, the client was not over the moon.
