From The London Times:
Outside England 's Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot for 150cars
and 8 buses. For 25 years, its parking fees were managed by a very
pleasant attendant. The fees were cars (£1.40), buses (about£7.00)..
Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day of work, he
just didn't show up; so the zoo management called the city council and
asked it to send them another parking agent.
The council did some research and replied that the parking lot was
the zoo's own responsibility. The zoo advised the council that the
attendant was a city employee. The city council responded that the lot
attendant had never been on the city payroll.
Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain or
France or Italy is a man who'd apparently had a ticket machine
installed completely on his own and then had simply begun to show up
every day, commencing to collect and keep the parking fees, estimated
at about £560 per day -- for 25 years.
Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over £7 million
pounds ....... and no one even knows his name.
