Tea-mergency Twitter giveaway

New research commissioned by Direct Line shows that tea really does calm you down in a crisis.

We're currently scouring thousands of tweets every hour to find people across the nation who are having a tea-mergency so we can do our bit to help them out. Those who are most in need of a lovely calming cuppa will be sent a box of tea in the post today.

Our favourite tea-mergency tweets will also receive a luxurious afternoon tea for two at the world-famous Ritz hotel in London.

To ensure that we spot your plea for tea, just pop the #teamergency hash-tag at the end of your tweet.
