Tea, telly and T-shirts are three things we can’t live without, a study has revealed. Along with cars, fruit and vegetables they are the staples that every age group from teenagers to grandparents have voted must-haves throughout life. Research by auction website eBay found tastes change as we grow older but a cuppa remains a constant through the years. It’s seven ages of modern life study revealed 18-20 is the Musical Stage where headphones and a musical instrument are our most prized possessions. In our 20s we move to the Technical Stage and TV, tablets and T-shirts rank alongside a yoga mat as must-haves while in our 30s it is bikes and shoes. The survey found by the age of 30, women have dumped mini-skirts from their wardrobes while men have given up on ties. Those in their forties said their car was the lifestyle item they had to have but felt too old for skinny jeans and hoodies. Fifty somethings voted a radio and sewing machine their key items and when they hit 50, women gave killer heels the boot, preferring comfy flats and pumps instead. According to the poll of more than 2,000 Brits, the radio was important for 60-year-olds while 70-year-old silver surfers rated their PC and telly vital to their lifestyles. EBay spokeswoman Laura Wilkinson-Rea said: “It’s fascinating to see how people’s needs change as they grow older, and this study shows how we’ve come to rely on certain things, whatever life stage we have reached.”
