East TX Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 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 £1 (about $1.40) and coaches £5 (about $7). This parking attendant worked there for all of 25 years until one day, he just didn't show up. "Oh well", said Bristol Zoo Management, "we'd better phone 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 £400 (about $560) per day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over £3.6 million ($7 million) or $280,000 every year for 25 years !!! And no one even knows his name
EAGLE07 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 That's good employment if you can find it.
