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.

Only accountants could come up with this one

Pay your fine, but, NO POINTS DEDUCTED!

Read on:


This is how the points get added to your licence:

If you get a fixed penalty notice through the post which also carries
Penalty points the computer system first sends you a demand for the cash.

When you have paid, it then sends a demand to return your licence for Endorsement.

It cannot handle the licence endorsement and the payment at the same time,
And it cannot process the points part of the system until the financial
Section is complete.

If you overpay the fixed penalty, it must issue and send a refund cheque
For the overpayment.


Therefore, overpay the fixed penalty by sending a cheque for the full amount — Plus £1.

The computer will then automatically generate a refund cheque for the
Over-payment and send it to you.

* * * Do not cash this refund cheque - DUMP IT * * *

This was mentioned on the limo forum the other day. I thought that you sent your license in at the same time as you paid the fine. Also surely the system would still show the points but they would just not be recorded on your paper license.
