Outside the Bristol Zoo, there is a parking lot.
It has parking bays for 150 cars and 8 coaches, or buses.

It has been manned by a very pleasant attendant complete with a
ticket machine for the past twenty five years.
He charged cars £1 and coaches £5 to park.

Then, one day, he just didn't turn up for work.

"Oh well", said Bristol Zoo Management - "we'd better phone up the
City Council and get them to send a new parking attendant . . . "

"Err . . . No", said the Council, "that parking lot is your
responsibility."

"Err . . . No", said Bristol Zoo Management, "the attendant was
employed by the City Council, wasn't he?"

"Err . . . No!" insisted the Council.

Now sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain (presumably),
is a man who had been taking the parking lot fees, estimated at £400
(per day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years. Assuming 7
days a week, this amounts to just over £3.6 million @£146k every year for 25 years)!

And the best part is that no one even knows his name. !!!

A well planned and executed retirement.

Not true, and we've done it before.
