Every time I have to go through or to Edinburgh Airport, I hate the place a little more. It’s a profit centre for private investors, one with a captive market to be ripped off to the max. Six weeks ago I parked there for an hour and a half while collecting family. £15. Today when seeing them off I did the same thing, for the same time, in the same space. £22.

I know, it’s not Edinburgh alone. A few years ago I took a taxi (black cab: it had to be) from Heathrow to Windsor. Next day I took another, back to the airport. The cost was half of the outward journey.

We’re being told at the moment that our major parties are tough on crime. Time they took a look at this, ‘cos it’s ******* criminal.
