How a mistake made by Companies House, a UK government agency responsible for registering companies, killed the 124-year old Welsh engineering firm Taylor & Sons Ltd. This led to Taylor & Sons' business evaporating as orders were cancelled and credit withdrawn due to believing the company had ceased operations.

This is, hands down, the funniest Guardian piece I’ve ever read.

Kudos to the author.
