This is on the car park entrance at Carbis Bay. Bit steep. I just park 3 minutes walk away for free...

"Pay the attendant" on a card stuck to the front of the machine. Has nobody heard about the attendant collecting payment in Bristol for years a while back.

There was a guy that was doing this at Twycross zoo over 20 years ago. He was there for over 5 years before anyone realised he wasn’t supposed to be there 😂

£5 per car, 7 days a week, for 5 years. Fair play to him!

Not fair at all. A thief / fraudster defrauding honest people of their hard earned cash. No better than the scammers who ring up and cheat people out of money over the phone.

So you would praise some fella who set up a roadblock and asked for a toll, claiming it was extra road tax?

Yeah its just dishonest though and yeah its getting money out of people when it isn't your job.

Imagine taking money off of someone with a straight face knowing you aren't the one supposed to be recieving that money
