2) Multifunction Weather Station
Did you know almost 70 percent of the British population check the weather forecast at least once a day? But what is our obsession with the weather? Is it its pure unpredictability? 1 in 4 people use the weather as a way to start polite conversation with the general public, discussing what we in England like to call the ‘niceties’. Whatever the reason is, a multifunction weather station should definitely be a staple hold on every British desk, providing you with, not just the time or today’s weather, but a plethora of ice breaker subjects such as wind speed, humidity, cloud coverage etc.
