Wallace and Gromit-style invention makes perfect breakfast

Have you ever struggled with the perfect boiled egg? Or burnt the last piece of toast?

Well, two British men have invented a solution.

They've built a "Sunday morning breakfast machine" and their wives will be the main benefiters.

Mechanical engineer Peter Browne and airline pilot Mervyn Huggett are both retired, skilled and enjoy a laugh. They decided to craft the equipment in their spare time, and all it took was 1000 hours.

It completes tasks methodically, for a textbook egg, toast and tea or coffee every time.

"It's got to look silly, but the main thing is it has to work well," says Mr Browne.

"The egg [is] dropped into boiling hot water and boils for four minutes, 30 seconds, which gives you a perfect soft boiled egg."
