Things we all miss whilst on Holiday!

Despite spending most of our working days longing for some blissful days on a sun lounger, almost half of us Britons spend their holidays pining for some of their favourite home comforts.
A new study has revealed that a comfortable bed and a good cup of tea are amongst the things that we miss most whilst on holiday abroad. The research, found that almost half (42 per cent) of the nation identified that they will miss their own bed more than they will their friends, family or partner this summer, however for one in five of us, it’ll be a good cup of tea that we long for whilst on holiday. A quarter (23 per cent) will pine for pets whilst sunning themselves on the beach and one in 10 of us will miss our favourite TV series.

1.    Our own bed

2.    Our pet

3.    Our own toilet

4.    Tea bags

5.    Wifi

6.    Laptop

7.    Television

8.    Relatives

9.    Our friends

10.  Our fridge of food – I cant imagine anyone thinking this on a cruise! 

Meanwhile, a poll found that nearly two thirds of us admit to loading up our suitcases with our favourite foods when travelling, with many admitting we struggle to find the brands we’re used to when in a foreign country.

A further 48 per cent claim it’s to avoid the extortionate prices found in foreign supermarkets for British brands. The survey found that over half of holidaymakers can’t resist a proper ‘brew’ and pack their own teabags – with women being more likely to pack them.

1)    Teabags – 54%

2)    Biscuits – 48%

3)    Instant Coffee – 31%

4)    Crisps – 17%

5)    Brown Sauce – 15%

6)    Noodles – 11%

7)    Tomato Ketchup – 9%

8)    Powdered Milk – 6%

9)    Sugar – 6%

10)  Instant Mashed Potato – 3%

What are your thoughts? Is there anything you just couldn’t leave home without. I must admit my bed and Tea would probably be the only things I could think of – and maybe the dog! But I’m quite happy to wait until I’m home!
