Job of a lifetime
Outside Bristol Zoo there is a car park for cars and coaches. There
also used to be a very pleasant attendant 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 the car
park fees for Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years...

i love it,we used to have "dead men " on big jobs in the late 80's, you got paid in cash every week and i sussed it when the subby turned up and started asking for george
the ganger started blustering, and i soon realised how he was financing his daily 5 hour betting shop and pub sprees
also there was a steward at a local club, never took a holiday for 20 years, the week after he died the takings from the £200 fruit machines went up £400
???
coincidence?
