I was so impressed by the story of a man who spent each and every day working as car park attendant at a tourist spot. Every day he was out there helping people park and taking their cash in exchange for a parking ticket. Everyone was impressed by his commitment to his job. No one could remember him missing a day during the years he'd been at the place.
Then one day he didn't turn up for work and they were a little concerned but by mid-morning when neither he, or a replacement, had arrived someone decided to give the Council a call. After being routed around the council offices they finally got the right person and explained the predicament. They needed someone to take the money and help with the parking and the usual man hadn't turned in.
"So why are you ringing us?" asked the official, "It's your car park!"
Don't you just love enterprising people and good tales?
Pity it's an urban myth (albeit a good one) - anyone got any others?
