Brits take Marmite and tea for perfect trip

More than half of British holidaymakers take a taste of home with them when they go abroad, a survey reveals.

The tea bag tops the list, with a third packing some, while a fifth take coffee and 17 per cent stow away their favourite sweets.

A total of 56 per cent of the 2,324 people polled by Which? Holiday took some food or drink on their last holiday. Five per cent took Marmite and women were more likely than men to take supplies with them.

Those under 55 were keener on packing foodstuffs for overseas visits than older holidaymakers.
Rochelle Turner, head of research for Which? Holiday, said: "Our research shows that it doesn't matter where in the world we are, we Brits love a good cuppa."
