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.
Interesting claim eh?
