    I want this job.



    FROM YESTERDAY'S BRISTOL EVENING POST:

    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 23 years

    That’s £3.3million quid ....................!!!

    I have one of those jobs, kinda - read on...
    I've always wanted to take my son to the UK because of my heritage. And maybe even the Bristol Zoo because of their attention to biodiversity, threatened species, nature. I saw this about the Bristol Zoo so I browsed around some. Then I hit this article that says the story is an Urban Legend:
    Bristol Zoo parking attendant myth | Bristol News | This is Bristol
    Bummer, I guess the job doesn't exist. So, in a way, I have the same job (in my mind).....LOL

    That is so funny. Too bad it sounds fake. April Fools prank probably.

    Still, funny and creative.
