I am 92 and horrified at the escalating cost of taxi fares, adding to Brighton and Hove's expensive reputation.
Before the Second World War, it cost a shilling (about 2.5 new pence) for a journey which now costs about £12.
I notice that most of the Brighton and Hove taxis seem to have personalised or special number plates. I wonder why?
It's easy to work out, isn't it. In the past, only the rich had these. Taxi fares in central London are now cheaper, it seems. Why? Possibly because they do not have so many "special" number plates.
