From the 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 the last 23 years...!

Ah Elvis, this is what you have been doing for the last 23 years.

I last heard that he was working in a chip shop.

Fantastic! I think in some ways he deserves the money for his cheek.

With my recent experience in Oxford with the lack of true parking, I wish he had done it there and not Bristol.

Where will Elvis go to now?

An attendant job in the car park for Graceland?

Walking Paris Hiltons' dog. He'll make millions!!!

I wish I'd thought of doing something like this!


You ain't the only one. That is truly baffling to me that that guy managed to get away with that for 23 YEARS!  :o Dang.

And Frank NOBODY wants to walk that rat-looking thing Paris Hilton has.

A true entrepreneur!  6 days a week for 23 years - I say he's earned it!

An attendant job in the car park for Graceland?


I see him selling Blue Suede Shoes.

Now how funny would that be, every day people going 'I just have to say sir you look remarkably like the great man himself'  ;D

Whatever Elvis's job is, it's something where he can say " thank you very much" several times during the day

It will be always on his mind.

How interesting is that?  Plus since he had no taxes taken out of his "wages".  It just goes to show you how invisible people are sometimes.  :-\\  I wonder what made him stop showing up for "work"?  Perhaps he met his goal that he was saving up for?

yeah for eating so many Peanut Butter Banana sandwiches. ;D

Why was all that an urban legend?  ???

i heard that the editor of this paper got knocked up by A-Rod. is this true?


Boy he sure gets around, doesn't he? ;D

Why was all that an urban legend?  ???


Because it didn't really not happen in the suburbs.

If this is an urban legend, then the earliest date/reference has to be found?

You ain't the only one. That is truly baffling to me that that guy managed to get away with that for 23 YEARS!  :o Dang.

Okay,well obviously the zoo wanted him there.so not all is lost.
