14. Many books on the shelf
It rained a lot in the UK. It rains more than 100 days a year! There are so many gloomy days that you can't go out. It's no wonder why reading literature became such a big deal in the UK, and that could also be the reason why some of the world's most famous authors were born and raised there. Everyone likes reading to help them escape to a world in their minds, instead of focusing on what's going on outdoors. Every English house has a vast collection of books. Sure, we live in an age where people can download books on their iPads. But if you want your home to look like it is in the UK, you need to have some physical books.
