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".

Picking the cheapest is expensiveAbout three years ago, the wife wanted a new bathroom fitted. So I did the sensible thing and got three quotes.
One of the quotes came in at half the next lowest quote.
I get the bloke who gave the cheapest quote in to do the bathroom, without stopping to wonder why his quote was so cheap.
It's now going to cost me about double the highest quote to sort out the damage that the bodging ginger twat did.

Getting work done is such a gambleI have always gone on recommendation. However, this year I had my drive block-paved and the bloke everyone recommended did a shit job.
