Everyone has a thing they’ve tried once, didn’t like it, and hid it under the bed, put it at the back of the cupboard or even covered over to remove it from plain sight- that forgotten impulse-bought ukulele for example.

A survey which polled the opinions of 1,000 British adults, conducted by search engine Ask Jeeves, has revealed the things that Britons have tried once and sworn never to do again.

Caravanning appears to be an enduring pastime, with only five per cent vowing never to return to caravan parks.

Holiday camps are slightly less popular with eight percent of the Britons polled deciding once was enough for them.

The survey also showed that different foods left a bad taste, including tripe and Marmite with nearly three in ten and one in four people promising never to put themselves through that awful experience again.

Interestingly, Las Vegas boasts the best statistic, with only one percent claiming they would never return to the Nevada city.

“It would be nice to know why but, as they say: ‘what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas’,” a spokesman for Ask Jeeves said.
