The greatest alarm clock ever?
Years ago I remember watching a programme on the BBC which featured various celebrities describing their favourite books and authors. A few moments stick in my mind even now, chief among them Stephen Fry's description of his love for the prose of P.G. Wodehouse, author of the numerous Jeeves and Wooster novels amongst others.
His reading of a passage describing the sun languorously sloping across the floor of a room as another morning arrived was wonderful to behold. Fry is an actor clearly born to read lines written by Wodehouse.
This then is my reasoning why this alarm clock is a work of utmost genius.
"I'm so sorry to disturb you sir, but it appears to be morning. Very inconvenient, I agree, sir. I believe it is the rotation of the earth which is to blame, sir."
Indeed.
