After a long slog on a motorway experiencing TRAVEL CHAOS of whatever flavour I was dealing with this week, be it snow, cancelled trains, volcanic ash clouds or elephantine tarmac-eating shrews, It had been the one thing I was looking forward to on my journey North. That humble bowl of teabags and UHT milk capsules was sure to be waiting for me, there on the desk in my Travelodge room. It's one of life's great constants. You can rely on it.
