Ah. Taxis got a bigger petrol ration, but there were still issues - Google reveals this, coincidentally re. Ian Carmichael:
"The A171 runs through the village upto the Falcon Inn, where actor Ian Carmichael stopped off during the war years as he was about to start his honeymoon with bride Pym.
Because of petrol rationing, taxis were not allowed to undertake a journey of more than 20 miles round trip.
So he took a taxi to the Falcon, and he was met by another taxi to take him to Scarborough, where the happy couple stayed at the Victoria Hotel."
As long a Broxford is only 9 miles away, no problem!
she can't really just materialise in the garden
I dunno - a friend is presently writing a fic in which she ends up in the Tardis...
