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.
