    FROM YESTERDAY'S BRISTOL EVENING POST:

    Outside Bristol Zoo is the 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 the ticket machine.
    The charges are £1. per car and £5.per coach.

    On Monday 1 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 said "That car park is your responsibility." The Zoo said
    "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 for 23 years


    Thats £3.3million ....

    That's clever. I don't remember any man taking money though when I've been to the zoo.
