Monday Smile: Top 5 weirdest items packed for a holiday

There is no accounting for the strange habits travellers observe – especially when it comes to how they pack. The Mail Online reported these five gems.

  1. Framed pictures of dead cats: A woman in her 40s from Sheffield took pictures of her dead cats with her everywhere she went. She said they were 'part of the family' and liked to put them up in her room.
  2. A wall clock: A pensioner from Devon liked to fall asleep to the sound of her ticking clock, so always packed it in her suitcase despite it having an estimated diameter of one and a half feet.
  3. A 24 multipack of Walker's Worcester sauce-flavoured crisps: A man from Hereford claimed to have an 'obsession' with Worcester sauce-flavoured crisps and liked to eat at least two packets a day so always required room in his suitcase for the snacks.
  4. A plastic carrier bag full of sheared sheep's wool: A lady from Leicestershire said she 'finds the texture comforting' so keeps some sheep's wool close to hand at all times. 
  5.  Approximately fifteen 'lucky rabbits’ feet’: A man from Liverpool, with a fear of flying, took approximately fifteen 'lucky rabbits’ feet' with him as in-flight good luck charms to ensure a safe landing.
