Aisle be ringing you

The motorised shopping trolley which is causing all the fuss
Picture: Manawatu Standard
One was from an American producer who wanted to put him in a feature film. Most were from journalists wanting information about his invention.
His invention is what the fuss is all about. Everyone wants to talk about the motorised shopping trolley. He's getting worried about the phone calls - he has to leave soon for a scheduled photo shoot with an Australian news agency.
His invention takes the legwork out of shopping by marrying a trolley and a ride-on scooter with a 50cc engine. It is not yet known if supermarkets will allow the unit to cruise the aisles or if you'll have to tie it up outside with the dog.
Meanwhile, Duncan can't get any normal work done. The journalists haven't stopped ringing him since the invention was reported three days ago in the Manawatu Standard. I assume they all want to know one thing - do the wheels all point in the same direction?
