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 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 £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.
