There’s a strong chance this story is just a myth but it raises an interesting question… do you think this guy is an entrepreneur or a criminal?

Outside Bristol Zoo is the car park, with spaces for 150 cars and 8 coaches. 


It’s been manned 6 days a week, for 23 years, by the same charming and very polite car park attendant.
The charges are £1.00 per car and £5.00 per coach. 


On Monday 1 June this year, he didn’t turn up for work.
Bristol Zoo phoned Bristol City Council to ask for a replacement parking attendant.

The Council said, “That car park is your responsibility.”


The Zoo complained, “But the attendant was employed by the City Council… wasn’t he?” 


The Council replied ….. “What attendant?”


Gone missing from his home is a man who has taken the car park fees each day, for the last 23 years.


Total fees: £400 per day.
Over 23 years, it adds up to £3 million in total!

The guy was stuck for a job. So, he made one up. Provided a service. And got rich in the process.

Right or wrong…. ?  Tell us what you think….
