From yesterdays 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 and very polite car park attendant with the ticket machine. The charges are £1. per car and £5. per coach.

On Monday 1 June, 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 said "That car park is your responsibility." The Zoo said "The attendant was employed by the City Council... wasn't he?" The Council said "What attendant?"
Gone missing from his home is a man who has been taking daily the car park fees amounting to about £400. per day for the last 23 years...!

That's £125k per year...not taxed. Genius!
 
classic! He should have passed it off to someone else though and not just left! :D

EDIT: Just read its fake. shame!

Shame it isn't true, would have been genius!

The story has been published on many blogs and forums on the internet and even caught the attention of the police after one person who read it made a complaint.
What nooblet felt it necessary to report it to the police?! Honestly, the things some people complain about :rolleyes:
 
Glad somebody posted the thisisbristol article. Funny story but certainly not true... What a strange "urban myth" so they call it :) lol
 
Seems amazing he could get away with it for so long.... strains credulity.


Edit: should have refreshed after I came back from the bathroom :p
