When I was a kid I'd go carol singing every Christmas with a few mates to earn some extra pennies. We'd go up to a house, ring the bell and as the person was just about to open the front door, we'd start singing. Usually Jingle Bells.

It all went wrong one day though when we pressed a doorbell and it started playing a tinny repertoire of Christmas classics, drowning us out in the process.

If I remember rightly, we ended up giving the doorbell money.

Anyway, if you want to mess with the minds of anyone who dares darken your door, get yourself a Nuclear Doorbell.

This seriously loud doorbell is wirelessly activated, is easy to install and requires no wiring because it's battery operated. Simply attach the buzzer to the outside of your front door and the doorbell to the inside, and then wait for some unsuspecting soul to press the doorbell.

That's when all hell breaks loose. A siren goes off and a booming voice alerts one and all to the presence of someone at the door.

"Attention! Attention! Someone has pressed the doorbell! Please remain calm!"

"There is somebody at the door! Repeat! There is somebody at the door! This is not a drill! Repeat! This is not a drill!"

All this fun and not a radiation leak in sight.

See and hear the Nuclear Doorbell in action at The Gadget Shop price £16.99.
