Death And Taxes

A well planned retirement.....why didn't i think of that...doh!]]

Thinking outside the taxed to death box

- (From The London Times) -

*A Well-Planned Retirement* ….and no taxes paid….”brilliant”

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 $1.40 and coaches $7.00.

This parking attendant worked there solid for all of 25 years. Then, one

day, he just didn't turn up for work.

"Well", said Bristol Zoo Management, "we'd better phone City Council and

get them to send a new parking attendant."

"Aahhh...no", said the Council, "that parking lot is your responsibility."

"No", said Bristol Zoo Management, "the attendant was employed by the

City Council.

Wasn't he?" "NO!" insisted the Council. "We thought he was your employee

all of these years."

Sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain or on a white sandy

beach somewhere, is a bloke who had been taking the parking lot fees,

estimated at about $560 per day at the Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years.

Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over $7 million! And no one

even knows his name.

Golden. Simply golden.
