Takes me back to happy memories of "MNID THE GAP" painted on the edge of the platform at Bow Road tube station. Hope it's still there.

BBC faux pas. The headline should surely read "incorrectly" not "wrongly".

Mis-spelling scenario #1: The council jobsworth is running the road-marking outfit, and there are no penalty clauses in the contract the council has signed. Thus, the only firm able to intervene - at cost-plus-5% - is the one belonging to the council jobsworth who has the contract and who obviously will be called to correct the mistake.

This is merely a rubber-meets-the-road version of the so-called "financial collapse".

Comedy Central: for ten points, provide a sketch based on a similar situation in the "profession" of your choice.

Precisely this racket - the Hospitals PFI ( in this instance the cost of a TV socket coming in at almost £1k ) is detailed in the current organ of Lord Gnome, Mr. T.
