Women take more than they need on holiday

Nearly all women do not wear all the clothes they take on holiday but almost half buy things when away as they have forgotten to pack them, a survey for www.travelsupermarket.com reveals.

Women generally take far more clothes than men do and spend more time packing, the poll of 2,011 adults found. As many as 90 per cent of women end up not putting on all the clothes they pack but 43 per cent have to make purchases on holiday through forgetful packing.
