I have just returned from a sportsmens evening at The Carrington House, Knyveton Road in Bournemouth. I caught a taxi home to Lower Parkstone just after midnight and was charged £16.75.

That’s absolutely disgusting. How can they justify these charges?

I was expecting £10-12 pounds, but nearly £17 is just a step too far.

You would think taxi companies have a social responsibility to provide a fairly priced service home.
