My wife and I were kindly invited to a Christmas lunch in Arundel so, rather than drink and drive, we took a taxi, which cost £7.10.
My wife returned before me and was charged £9.50.
Some friends who live nearby left without me so I called into the Swan Hotel and asked the chap behind the bar if he would call me a taxi.
He asked me if I had been drinking there, to which I replied no, to which he replied no.
So I walked, in the rain, to the taxi office at Arundel station to requested a taxi home and was charged £10.
Perhaps I was unfortunate, but where has the Christmas spirit gone? There's not a lot in Arundel, but not many people know that.
