the quirky side of travel<br />
Slaves to the screen<br />
It's official, 72% of millennials can't go<br />
on holiday without their phone, at least<br />
according to research from international<br />
mobile service provider, <strong>Travel</strong>Sim.<br />
Its UK survey revealed we are spending<br />
over 32 hours a week on our phones and<br />
tablets whilst on holiday. On average,<br />
women spend over three hours on social<br />
media, while men scroll for two and a<br />
half hours, and 59% of parents take tech<br />
on holiday to entertain the kids.<br />
Manchester and Newcastle claim the<br />
highest number of people (62%) needing<br />
a digital detox while Norwich dwellers<br />
are smugly the least reliant on tech.<br />
Video streaming apps are most<br />
popular, followed by Facebook and<br />
messaging, Instagram and emails.<br />

Beers of the world<br />
The global average price of a pint is<br />
£2.63, according to comparison site<br />
Finder. So why, you may ask, does a<br />
pint in the UK cost upwards of £3.70? If<br />
you reside in London, you will likely pay<br />
£5.18. But don't cry in your beer and<br />
take some comfort by this: the dearest<br />
was found in Doha, Qatar, at £10.30.<br />
Or just move to Maputo, Mozambique,<br />
where it's 39p. finder.com/uk<br />
For better or woof...<br />
Do you sell destination weddings?<br />
Have you booked dog-friendly trips?<br />
Lake District hotel Armathwaite Hall<br />
has combined the two to offer a new<br />
pooch grooming service, making sure<br />
four-legged guests are looking their<br />
paws-down best on the big day. Dogs<br />
are bathed and groomed, dressed in<br />
occasion attire and delivered to the<br />
aisle to woof along with the 'I dos'.<br />
