From The London Times: A Well-Planned Retirement

A perfect example of government mismanagement.


Outside England 's Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, it’s parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant. The fees were for cars (£1.40),for buses (about £7).

Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day of work, he just didn't show up; so the Zoo Management called the City Council and asked it to send them another parking agent.

The Council did some research and replied that the parking lot was the Zoo's own responsibility.

The Zoo advised the Council that the attendant was a City employee.

The City Council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the City payroll.

Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain or France or Italy ... is a man who'd apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own and then had simply begun to show up every day, commencing to collect and keep the parking fees, estimated at about £560 per day -- for 25 years.

Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over 7 million pounds ... and no one even knows his name.

我唔係成日都去敦倫，所以對敦倫嘅認知祇是一般。

但按常理推測，應該都和香港一樣，其實梗有人包庇，暗住雙眼怍作睇唔見而已！

亦都可能係政府部門缺乏溝通or你推我樣 ^_^

如果有網友羡慕佢嘅，可以拎條雞毛掃出去服務一下香港嘅駕駛者丫？

我相信黑人和白人都會走來問候你哩！
