Rother Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 It's a lovely story but it's also false. It seems it started as an April fools day joke and just caught fire. Shame really, I love the story too Bristol Zoo insists there has never been any confusion over parking attendants and says it has several attendants and more than one car park – none open to coaches. A version of the story did appear in the Evening Post two years ago – in a feature on urban myths published to coincide with April Fools' Day. Parking attendant Cliff Smith, 58, who was on duty at the Clifton Down car park yesterday, said: "I've worked here for about five years and it was about two years ago that this email started to circulate. It was around April time, which might explain things, but we didn't really take much notice of it. "Then in about April of this year it appeared again. Someone mentioned it to me, then a couple of zoo members said it had been circulated around their companies. "Three days later a policeman turned up because it had gone to Bath and North East Somerset Council and someone there had told the police. "It's getting a bit boring now but it still seems to going around." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rother Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 On April fools day jokes, there was one I believed for years. I have a friend called jeff Lyon and he has a brother called Chris who works at a zoo Jeff told me years ago that one april fools day someone phoned the zoo and asked to speak to Mr C Lyon. The receptionist who was new said to the caller 'do you think I am stupid' and put the phone down The man called again and asked again but this time asked for Mr Lyon She told him to get lost. Only later did she re-tell the story to another employee and was told that they do have a C Lyon working there. Chris Lyon does work at the zoo but Jeff eventually told me he had made the story up - shame eh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
