Living in a village has many advantages, which I am sure we all enjoy. However, if on a night out you like a drink or two, you may well recognise this dilemma.
An evening with friends, or a visit to a Milford on Sea restaurant/pub, leaves the issue of how to get home. Walking is of course an option, but this requires effort and a directional sense in the dark. It can also compromised valuable entertainment time.

On more than one occasion we have found ourselves in this situation and have tried numerous ways to resolve it. My generous offer that we shared the driving worked for a short while, but once my wife discovered my share was always the outward journey, that option was soon rejected.
I then had a run of luck, when we tossed a coin for who was going to drive. Well, that was until my wife discovered my double headed coin. A swift & powerful size 6 kick to the groin had me down like a sack of potatoes, hobbling for a week and my favourite coin confiscated.
Things got better at the recent Comedy Club at the Community Centre. (An excellent night out, and well worth going to if you haven't been before.) We shared a table with a charming couple, David & Eve, and they told us of a travel option we had not heard of before. A taxi.
OK, we have heard of taxi's before, but not a mini cab company that was happy to come to Milford on Sea to transport people on short journeys around the village. Apparently, Abacus Cars from New Milton happily venture across to provide a Milford on Sea taxi service, and will move people around the village for a reasonable price, with a number of village journeys from as little as £5+.
Abacus Cars not ony do local trips, they also cover journeys to airports, docks, shopping trips, tours, - with the motto: 'No job too small, or too big'. They are open from 7am to midnight every week day, and until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights. This is of course, way past when most of Milford is tucked up in bed!

So, next time you are faced with 'who will drive', and need a Milford on Sea mini cab, why not give these guys a try.
