Default Worst decision in history ??

What in your opinion has been the worst ( or not the wisest ) decision ever ??

Maybe JFK saying "it's a lovely day dear, lets have the roof down"

Or the guy at Ford that said " Yeah let's make it, we'll call it the Scorpio !"

Tony Blairs mum should have swallowed on his night of conceiving. That was a pretty bad decision.

Subaru CEO. "The new Impreza should be a hatchback and should copy the bodystyle and shape of a old Mazda 3 and Nissan Almera."

Subaru Engine dept: "The best engine for UK/EU Impreza Sti is the EJ25, it is far superior to the EJ20. We'll ensure further reliability by shutting off the fuel near the rev limiter to prevent over-revving"


BMW UK: "Nobody in the UK wants a 4 wheel drive m135i"

The pathetic attempt at a protest in Scunthorpe today, against the supposed bedroom tax.

Pathetic attempt at the usual left wing amateur anarchist movement looking for a pop at the Tories. Ffs they were shouting "1,2,3,4, screw the Tories screw the law". May I remind them it is officially a coalition government.

I can suggest a few:

The chap who rescued a young Adolf Hitler from drowning.

Hitler not carrying on bombing our airfields and turning instead to bombing the big cities in 1940. For the yoofs on here, the RAF were almost beaten when he did so, but he didn't know it of course.

Wat Tyler not killing Richard II on their first meeting (look up the Peasants' Revolt if this one puzzles you).

Decca turning down The Beatles.

And on a more personal level...

Me not backing Evander Holyfield at 20:1 to beat Mike Tyson in 1996 when I'd just sold my house and had £8000 in the bank.

Me picking 47 instead of my usual 44 in the lottery on the Queen's Golden Jubilee weekend in 2002 (you can't beat the feeling of getting five numbers instead of six....)

The killing of Archduke Ferdinand

Not supporting the white Russians to over throw the Bolshevik revolution

Not getting ride of Saddam in gulf war one

not dealing with al-Qaeda by killing osama bin laden before 911

UK joining the EU instead of creating a free trade organisation from the commonwealth as suggest by a lot of people but not the civil service
