From the Bristol Evening Post:

[Guy Incognito]

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 the last 23 years...!

Total sum just short £2.9 million

well they will have to catch him first all the scriptwriter has to go on is 23 years of car park attending at a zoo.

Brilliant! I so hope this turns out to be true.

It's like my local Sainsbury's has a car park but the council own that.

And yet other supermarkets' parking is free, like with Tesco and Morrisons.

Anyway, top scam! (y)

we have a guy at the supermarket who takes change to hold open the door for you. i don't think its going as well for him.
