I would like Brighton and Hove Philharmonic Society to consider trying an experiment please.

That is, after a concert performance to have up to six people with poles which say ‘Taxi due north’, ‘Taxi due east’ and so on in the Brighton Dome foyer and invite the audience to gather behind each pole and share a taxi if they wish.

I don’t know whether it would work and the proof will be in the pudding surely.
