    Default Well Planned Retirment..... WTF?

    Well-Planned Retirement - From The London Times:



    Outside the Bristol Zoo, in England , there is a parking
    lot for 150 cars and 8 coaches, or buses.
    It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a
    ticket machine charging cars £1 (about $1.40) and
    coaches £5 (about $7).
    This parking attendant worked there solid for all of 25
    years. 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.
    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 (about $560) per
    day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years. Assuming 7
    days a week, this amounts to just over £3.6 million
    ($7 million - or $280,000 every year for 25 years)!
    And no one even knows his name.
