Down on the west coast of the U.K is a city called Bristol , which amongst all the other various attractions has a local zoo .
Now for the past thirty or so years , visitors to the zoo have been quiet merrily paying parking charges to a guy who is sat on the gate of the car park next to the zoo, who no doubt looked official and dispensed tickets in the process .
This particular attendant would be there six days a week , regardless of the weather, having never ever being off sick for even one day in those thirty years – thus seemingly the model employee.
That was until one day - recently - he didn’t turn up , and of course the zoo phoned the Local Authority up and asked for them to send another car park attendant as the usual guy hadn’t turned up for work ……………
The very bemused - local Authority then said they didn’t have anyone working at that particular location and they had checked – the land the car park was on actually belonged to the zoo…………………strange huh …………………………
Well It turns out - this mysterious “employee” had apparently taken it upon himself - thirty years ago to start collecting money from the car park , and had not been challenged by anyone in all those years , so £3,000,000 ( yes that’s three million £ ) later - he obviously decided to retire :)
Hilarious :………….and I’m sure if he gets caught by the authorities, they will let him off if he pays the money back ………….not ………. although if he was an M.P. carrying out one of their other numerous jobs ………………:)
