Brits reveal their holiday home comforts

May 4, 2016

What do you pack?

That’s the question we asked 10,000 holiday-goers in the UK in a bid to find out more about the home comforts Brits just can’t do without.

Interestingly, technology tops the poll alongside quintessentially British food and drink like tea bags, baked beans and crumpets – while the obvious choices (towels, slippers, dressing gowns, hair dryers) also make an appearance in the long list.

We will pass a proportion of the commission we receive to the motor retailer that introduced you to us. The commission we receive and pay will not affect the amount of interest you pay under your credit agreement, when compared to customers in circumstances similar to you. We will always introduce you to the lender that provides products for your needs, at the interest rate suitable for your credit profile. If you ask us, we will tell you the amount of commission we are paid for introducing you to the finance lender.
