Good point. Why don't you make one yourself?!
> As for a new 'phone, both of the clocks you linked to are under £20; I don't think I'm going to find a mobile 'phone for that
I think you're wrong there. You won't get an all singing all dancing smart phone for that. But all you need is a dumbphone capable of running java, which they pretty much all do, nowadays. If you are serious about going down that route, I bet the other brother could help with the programming too, given what he does for a living.
