*Oh and if the name Ed Morrish rings a bell (ahem) that's because he has been in the news recently as the man who found an old alarm clock in his garage that had a recording of his late mother telling him to get out of bed on it. Morrish told the PA news agency: "I wasn't shocked, really; I knew what it was as soon as I dug into the box, so I was just happy it still worked...Lovely to be reminded of her voice and I laughed of course, because it was such a ridiculous thing for her to record."
