From the Bristol Evening Post
Outside Bristol Zoo is the car park, with spaces for 150 cars and 8 coaches. It has been manned 6 days a week for 23 years by the same charming, very polite car park attendant with the ticket machine. The charges are £1 per car and £5 per coach.
On Monday June 1st, he did not turn up for work. Bristol Zoo management phoned Bristol City Council to ask them to send a replacement parking attendant. The Council replied "That car park is your responsibility". The Zoo said, "The attendant was employed by the council though,..wasn't he?". The Council asked "What attendant?"
Gone missing from his caravan nearby is a man who has been collecting daily, the car ark fees amounting to about £400 per day for the las 23 years!
Total sum, just short of £2.9 million....
This guy is a legend....anyone who screws the system, deserves recognition..
