This little fella' is stalking me and reading my tweets. Especially when they contain the word 'Tea' or the hashtag '#teamergency'. Who is he? Well, his name is 'Tea Robot' and he browses Twitter looking for mentions of his favourite drink. Plus, he works for Direct Line, helping people out of the problems of day to day life.

The insurance company explored the British responses to crises and how they cope with the issues, and they found that 68% of people used tea to calm down and take a break, above any other remedy.

They found that the public reached for a cup of the brew most commonly due to a tough day in the office- a whopping 63%, closely followed by issues of the office ('Office Politics') at 56%, along with broken hearts (21%) and bickering with friends (27%): all the everyday hiccups of life.

Now, you know that I'm a huge tea drinker- (a possibly unhealthy) 10 - 13 mugs per day, on average- so that must mean I'm highly stressed out. I'm not sure.

All I know is that I want one of these.
