a dingle

Dingled, is a word simply used when a person makes a a small blunder to a catastrophic error. The word is used around the country but heard most around the Norfolk and Suffolk area as this is where it originated from. A name believed to have derived from a Mr Peter Dingle living in the Norwich area who was renowned for innocently causing mayhem where ever went. To include blocking major roads, shutting down entire supermarkets, knocking out a whole city’s telecoms to simply putting a nail through his foot and this was all down to just bad luck.
