Amazing, True, Naughty & Hilarious News Story ~
The Bristol Evening Post newspaper has informed of the following amusing happening.
Outside Bristol Zoo is a car park, with spaces for 150 cars and 8 coaches. It has been manned 6 days a week for 23 years by the same charming and very polite car park attendant with a ticket machine. The charges are £1 per car and £5. per coach. ($1.60 and $8.12 USD)
Apparently on Monday 1st June, he did not turn up for work. Bristol Zoo management phoned Bristol City Council to ask them to send a replacement parking attendant. The Council told the Zoo, 'That car park is your responsibility.'
The Zoo replied, 'The attendant was employed by the City Council ... wasn't he?'
The Council said, 'What attendant?'
Gone missing from his home is a man who has been taking daily the car park fees amounting to about £400 per day (650 USD) for the last 23 years.
Similar to the above ... Or is it the other way round? ~
It's funny how one story triggers memory of a similar tale. Once there was a council car park attendant back in the 1960s. He had an scam whereby he left the car park at 5:00pm, but returned unofficially at 6:00pm and reopened the car park. At the end of the night he pocketed all the evening's takings!
At the height of the gale, the harbourmaster radioed a coastguard on the spot and asked him to estimate the wind speed. He replied that he was sorry, but he didn't have a gauge. However, if it was any help, the wind had just blown his Land Rover off the cliff.
