A nice little earner!

We all need a good laugh.

A nice little earner!

Apparently, a true story...


Outside Bristol Zoo, there is a car park for 150 cars and 8 coaches. It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine charging cars £1 and coaches £5. 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..."


"Er no", said the Council, "that car park is your responsibility"...

"Er no", said Bristol Zoo Management, "the attendant was employed by the City Council, wasn't he?"
... "Er NO!"

Sitting in his villa in Spain, is a bloke who had been taking the car park fees, estimated at £400 per day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years...


Assuming 7 days week, this amounts to just over £3.6 million... (tax free)
