I arrived back from Brighton to Lewes at 18.45 by train last Sunday and, as the weather looked somewhat inclement, I decided to take a taxi.

The fare I normally pay to just off Western Road is £2 but I was informed that on Sunday the minimum charge, which covers the journey, was £3.

That is a 50 per cent increase. Prices for everything else are charged at the normal daily rate, such as petrol, pubs, supermarket shopping, restaurants, trains and buses (possibly bus fares are actually cheaper on Sundays), so why are taxis 50 per cent more?

Perhaps people should boycott those taxis on a Sunday or at least say they will only pay the regular rate.

If the drivers don't like it, they should stay at home. I walked home.
