Britons would rather have scurvy than lose their broadband well, more would rank their internet connection as a must-have over fresh fruit and vegetables, according to a survey by BT.
Faced with a worsening economy, Britons will need to cut back on their spending, but there are some things they're not willing to give up. Some 57 per cent said they couldn't live without their broadband, while 43 per cent said they couldn't live without fresh fruit and veg.
Another 37 per cent said they could never give up their mobile phone. See below for the full list.
