00:00 Almost half of Manchester residents think taking tea and coffee when travelling is essential,
00:06 new research from TUI has confirmed.
00:08 It has long been suspected that Brits enjoy their home comforts when going on holiday,
00:13 and data collected by the travel company shows Mancunians are sneaking their favourite snacks
00:18 and beverages into their suitcases.
00:20 48% of people surveyed from Manchester revealed they pack tea and coffee to drink while travelling,
00:26 27% refused to travel without their slippers and 16% admitted they carry a few bags of crisps.
00:33 We asked people in Manchester what weird and wonderful items they take with them on holiday.
00:37 Oh definitely the tea bags, I mean the Lady Grey, I don't know if I'm allowed to mention
00:42 a name like that, but the Lady Grey's definitely because you can't get them anywhere else,
00:47 but that's the main thing that I would take with me.
00:50 Food probably not, I'd probably take a chance then once I get there.
00:54 If I'm going self-catering, yes I do, I take tea bags and coffee and dried milk, but apart
01:02 from that no, no I don't really take a lot of, shampoo, hairspray, I take all those with
01:09 me because I find they're quite costly out there and they're not always having the products
01:14 that I like.
01:15 I have known to take my own pillow.
01:23 Does I prefer to sleep on my own pillow?
01:26 No, no if I'm going somewhere out of this country I like to try the local food, I wouldn't
01:32 dream of taking English things with me, in this country no.
01:36 I take tea and coffee, decaf to be sure I've got the decaf, biscuits because I love biscuits,
01:45 Slimming World biscuits because you can't get them when you're abroad.
01:49 So tea and coffee, is there a reason you take that, is it because you just like your own
01:54 ones?
01:55 It's because of having the decaf, I've had decaf for as long as it's been going, and
02:00 abroad you don't get it the same, so I don't want to switch on to caffeine again when I
02:05 don't take it at home.
02:07 I've just come back from Indonesia last month, one month in Indonesia, ten days in Nicaragua,
02:11 and I'm going to Costa Rica in June.
02:14 When I go I pack my own food with me because I don't like, like when I get to Indonesia
02:19 they are only eating rice, everything they put is rice, I can't be eating rice every
02:22 time.
02:23 So it's more healthy because you don't know what you are going to meet there.
02:27 It's good to eat with the locals, but hotel food is just as if you are still in England,
02:32 so I pack my own food, including milk and sugar, so that is it.
