Outside Bristol Zoo, there is a car park for 150 cars and 8 coaches.
It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine
charging cars £1 and coaches £5.
This parking attendant worked there solid for all of 25 years. Then one
day, he just didn ' t turn up for work.
“Oh well”, said Bristol Zoo Management - “we’d better phone up the City
Council and get them to send a new parking attendant…”
"Err no", said the Council, "that car park is your responsibility"…
"Err no", said Bristol Zoo Management, "the attendant was employed by the
City Council, wasn ' t he?"…
"Err NO!"
Sitting in his villa in Spain , is a bloke who had been taking all the car park fees,
estimated at £400 per day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years…
Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over £3.6 million…
