Why? If I've forked out a grand on a holiday whats 50 quid for a taxi to make
sure I actually make it to the airport?


How you choose to travel is unimportant. You pays your money, etc.

But your initial rant was that HEx fares are extortionate, which in
context they are not.


For a train fare they are given the distance. Why suffer the hassle of rail
transport for not far off the price of a taxi?

Your confidence in taxis as a reliable form of transport is almost as
amusing.


I've never yet had a problem with a minicab turning up late or getting lost.
The same with black cabs.
