"And now for something completely different..."Leave it to Nath & GameKeeper's fellow countrymen to come up with an idea like this! Hmmm... wonder if it can be adapted to wake you to the smell of Chorizo con Huevos??

New-style Teasmade wakes you with freshly cooked bacon
A bizarre new alarm clock uses the smell of freshly cooked bacon to wake you up in the morning.
The Wake n'Bacon clock will cook a frozen rasher (rasher n: 1. A thin slice of fried or broiled bacon. or 2. A dish or an order of thin slices of fried or broiled bacon - I didn't know what a "rasher" was either-Tom) placed inside the clock the night before.

The Wake n'Bacon clock cooks a frozen rasher for 10 minutes before the time you need to rise from your slumber.
Designer Matty Sallin says the sizzling sound combined with the classic aroma is enough to wake you.
The user is also welcomed by the almost-instant breakfast of a bacon sandwich in bed.
Mr Sallin altered a regular alarm clock so that instead of a sound going off, two halogen lamps are switched on.
The lamps then take 10 minutes to cook a piece of bacon that was placed inside the clock the night before.
The user can leave some bread and ketchup by the side of their bed to make up the bacon sandwich.
Mr Sallin, from New York, USA, said: "No one likes to be woken up, especially by an alarm.
"This clock gently wakes you with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of mum cooking breakfast."
The Wake n'Bacon is the modern version of the enduringly popular Teasmade, an alarm clock that switches on to brew a cup of tea.
