It may seem like a blast from holidays past along with printing pages of directions from the AA website or waiting for handwritten airline tickets to arrive by post.
But about one in 30 Britons (3%) admit to packing a CD player when going on holiday, a survey has found.
And more than a quarter (26%) still take a camera, another item thought to have fallen by the wayside with the advent of the smartphone.
E-readers, such as the Amazon Kindle, have failed to dislodge the old-fashioned paperback from people’s suitcases, with 54% of Britons preferring to pack physical books.
Women are more likely to take a physical book with them on holiday (63% compared with 52% of men) but men are more wedded to their old CD players (21% compared with 14% of women).
I'm surprised by this... I thought CD players were basically in the "old banger" stage of their life right now: they're heavily outdated, but still too new to have acquired any real retro or nostalgic appeal. (Granted, some people are just technological laggards, but still...)
We do have a CD player, but we haven't used it in years... what about you?
