When you’re going through a divorce you can be forgiven for getting distracted in your work and making mistakes, however depending on your job, some mistakes can prove more costly than others.

For example, if you work in Tesco and you’re pricing up beans, mistakes caused by the stress of divorce can cost a few pence. If you’re a major film director and you’re working on a multi-million dollar movie, mistakes can cost you (or your producer) millions.

Guy Ritchie has made one such mistake on his new film about Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law. He has been ordered by studio execs to reshoot scenes of his movie, despite wrapping up, because they felt the scenes were too unrealistic. The Sun newspaper has put this mistake down to the stress of the divorce from Madonna.
