Me and my dad went to some distant town that I can't remember now to buy one of the first Specrums. The car broke down on the motorway and we had to hitch-hike home.
I ordered a 48K Spectrum but thought they delivered a 16K version. So as a cocky 12ish year old I called sinclair and they sent me a new one. They never asked for the other one back. Always felt guilty over this as the original one was 48K.
No wonder they went bump. lol
