Back in 2006 the University I work for had to recall their prospectus and have them reprinted at a massive cost.
The reason being, in an attempt to be cool and trendy they put a mocked up advert for a fake punk event on the back cover. It was only after thousands of the things had been printed and delivered that they discovered that the fake advert had a swastika on it.

I accidentally reversed a mixing rule so that it required the binary explosive components to be stored in the same bin, rather than preventing it.

I hope once I have done my time to apply for a position within an OFSTED inspection team. I certainly will only be checking out the running of the schools and that correct procedures are being adhered to, and not inspecting the kids! lol
