ZX Spectrum 48K Wasn't Ted pleased when his brand new Sinclair electric truck arrived! He had already bought a set of batteries, so no sooner had the delivery man left, than a very proud Ted climbed in for his first drive. All was going well until Ted notices his truck slowing down. "Oh dear," thinks Ted, "these batteries don't seem to last very long. Ted takes a look around - he has ended up parked outside a building being rennovated. Suddenly he notices something glint in the sunshine at the top of the scaffolding. "Is that really a battery up there?". Jumping out of his car he climbs the nearest ladder. Thirsty work this, thinks Ted as he climbs the next ladder. But then, Ted realises he has more to worry about than a dry throat...! General Loading and Running Instructions 1.
