Apparently, a true story... ??

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 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 £36 million...
