WALTON Hall zoo ranger Peter Cookson Dean is set to mark a remarkable milestone in October – his 30th year of working for the Warrington council without a single day off work sick.
Peter, who has not suffered as much as a headache puts his remarkable work record down to a healthy lifestyle working outside in the fresh air.
“A lot of my colleagues at the council work in stuffy offices so when one person gets a bug it hops from person to person,” said Peter.
“I have had the occasional cold over the years but nothing serious enough to have a day off work.”
Having the “perfect job” also helps says Peter, who has been known to work around the clock when some of the zoo animals go into labour.
Peter was on duty when the zoo’s oldest character, Bo Bo the donkey, was born 26 years ago!
“I love my job which obviously helps with my sickness record,” he added.

Hope he keeps this up when the council stop paying their loyal workers sick pay.
