These so called taxi charges do often mean a private hire car with driver at a daily rate where perhaps the meeting schedule/location makes it the best option. Also the 230 BBC company (leased) cars are a very ordinary selection which many here would grumble at if looking for a job there. Apart from the three senior execs cars with drivers the most prestige one seems to be a Citroen C8!
The problem is the majority of the public aren't able to apply a fair judgement of what is acceptable at this level of business. The cost of operating any large business in London is very significant.
I happily pay the licence fee, I reckon it's a bargain compared to the huge amounts folks spend on Sky trash channels and good value against other ways of obtaining worthwhile media.
