    Muslim Teasmaid

    I once stayed in a hotel in Abu Dhabi that provided its guests with a, teasmaid in the form of a replica of the Blue Mosque.

    At your allotted wake up time, the call to prayer would be issued from its plastic minarets and a door would spring open out of which would emerge the Grand Mufti with a piping hot glass of mint tea.

    I've always fancied one of these myself but have never seen them on sale. Anyone know where I can get one?

    Istanbul would be my guess. I'll get a staff member to go hunting and find the price.

      Dunno if they make tea though!

        No seen the teasmade variant, but a chap I used to work with did a lot of business in Oman, and had a mosque alarm clock with the azzan as the alarm tone.

        You can get one here . . . Muslim Mosque Alarm Clock Azan athan azaan Call to Prayer on eBay!
        The vegetarian option.

          Why not send the hotel an e-mail and ask them where they buy their teasmaids?

            You could have an Al Qaeda alarm clock that, at the allotted time, explodes..

              Or the UK Contractor alarm clock that won't make you a coffee but will drink enormous amounts of it, will go off when it feels like it as it can't be directed by the user but will print an invoice at precisely the same time of day without fail for the rest of it's working life.

                I've recently bought one of these, Special-T, but you can't get them in the UK...

                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  So much for being partners in the EU.. No bloody UK option on the front page... Racists.

                  Do you get the cups with it? You will look a right nonce drinking tea out of those...

                    A CUK Teasmade would stay in the shop and wake you up by email.
