[plug] doorbell

[Gavin Chester]

Bloody hell!! Everyone had fun being complete geeks!!  You've either all
got too much time on your hands or too much imagination for your own good.
I can't believe some of the drivel that's being suggested - even by the 
original poster with the problem.  Why us a sledgehammer to crack a nut?  
Just re-read my original _ideal_ answer (below) - wireless doorbell,
wireless doorbell, wireless doorbell, repeat after me ... They're not
expensive - take them anywhere in the house.  Get a life.

Huff, huff, huff.  Ahh. now I feel better.

Yeh, you won't have to look too hard to find a wireless doorbell from
the usual suspects - maybe even Kmart.  If you place the receiver near
you they are load enough to hear above all except a jackhammer.  I got
one for me ol' mammy who wasn't hearing the bell when out the back.  She
now just takes the receiver with her when gardening and it seems to have
a good range of at least 30m tested so far.
