Bristol Evening Post - 4th June 2009:-

"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 2.9 million!!!

What a legend!

Holy Shit! I agree, what a legend!

That's awesome!

I'm picturing some old dude, sipping cocktails on an island somewhere, breaking into fits of giggles occasionally. 23 years! hahahahaha

he is probably kicking it up in the bahamas! Absolute bloody legend!

Or he was a gambling addict and put it all back in!

It's an Urban Myth, albeit an endearing one...

Mick

hmm........enterprising

Is there a toll to get into the Taronga Park Zoo Car park??? ...


Just thinking out loud

Last time I went Taronga Park Zoo parking was on the street - they were building a new parking structure I think.
So I think you might be out of luck
Dunno about Western Plains, or there's the Reptile Park for something local...

And no - I wasn't already thinking about it
