I have not found anywhere where this is not true. It came from the London Times. Don't get me wrong, I believe in paying the piper but I would love to shake this mans hand.
Outside the Bristol Zoo, in England , there is a parking lot for 150
cars and 8 coaches, or buses.
It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine
charging cars (about $1.40) and coaches (about $7).
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 parking lot is your responsibility."
"Err . . . no", said Bristol Zoo Management, "the attendant was
employed by the
City Council, wasn't he?"
"Err . . . no!" insisted the Council.
Sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain (presumably),
is a man who had been taking the parking lot fees, estimated at
(about $560) per day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years. Assuming
7 days a week, this amounts to just over $7 million - or $280,000 every
year for 25 years)!
And no one even knows his name.
