True Story
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..
Total amount is around 4.7 million USD..
