*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  and coaches £5
This parking attendant worked there 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..."
"Er ... no", said the Council, "that parking lot is your responsibility."
"Er ... no", said Bristol Zoo Management, "the attendant was employed
by the City Council, wasn't he?"
"Er ... NO!" insisted the Council.

Sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain, is a bloke 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
And no one even knows his name!

A dog rescue centre in Norfolk is trying to find a new home for a blind sheepdog and its "guide dog".
The two border collies, called Bonnie and Clyde, were found roaming on a country road. It was not immediately clear why one followed the other.
Cherie Cootes, from Meadowgreen Dog Rescue Centre, in Hales, near Loddon, said they could not be separated.
She discovered that Bonnie led Clyde, who had lost his sight because of a degenerative disease.
"If Clyde's unsure where he is, he will suddenly go behind Bonnie and put his face on the back of her so she can guide him, he totally relies on her," said Ms Cootes.
"And when she walks she tends to stop and make sure he's there - she does look out for him.
"When she's about you wouldn't notice he is blind, but when she's not about he refuses to move.
"There's no option of homing them separately. They've got to go as a pair."
The dogs were found running through     Blundeston, near Lowestoft in Suffolk, during a storm three weeks ago.
Neither Clyde, who is thought by the rescue  centre workers to be about five years old, nor Bonnie, whose estimated age is two or three, had identifying collars or chips.
