Creature comfort-loving Brits pack holiday suitcases with 'life essentials' such as tea bags, their favourite mugs and even canned food in case they can't buy it abroad, a study has found

A survey of 2,000 adults who have been abroad revealed 86 per cent have packed a home comfort to take with them.

More than a third have taken teabags, while 25 per cent have packed hand cream and 24 per cent take their own towels.
