From a friend, I pass it on.

Outside Bristol Zoo there is a car park for 150 cars and 8 coaches.

There used to be a very pleasant parking attendant at the Bristol Zoo with a ticket machine charging cars £1 and coaches £5..

This parking attendant worked there for all of 25 years , then one day just didn’t turn up for work...

“Ho hum”, said Bristol Zoo Management - “better phone up the City Council
And get them to send a new parking attendant” ......

“Err no”, said the Council, “that car park is your responsibility” ...

“Err no”, said Bristol Zoo Management, “the attendant was employed by the City Council, wasn’t he?” .....

“Err NO!”

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

YES, I’ve done the sums = $3,650,000 Pounds ($5,885,587 USD - $7,309,134 AUD - 4,151,505 EUR)

Not a bad days work, or a bad career, all thing being equal!
