Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

Anyone unfortunate enough...To know the London suburb of Sutton, might know the auto dealer/spares shop 'Larry's Shack'.
They once had a Jaguar on sale for £100.
Some chums and I were tempted. Buy it, thrash it for the night, dump it.
Went past Larry's again a few weeks later, it still hadn't sold. Now reduced to £50.
Couple of weeks later, £30.
The last time we saw it, bearing in mind it was a Jag and, according to the blurb written on the suprisingly intact windscreen, "A good runner", it had been reduced once again.
To £6.
The motoring equivilent to trying to catch a bullet with your teeth.

It'll probably have been part ex'dAnd he's trying to get rid without having to pay to scrap it.

I grew up in Sutton, and nothing surprises me about that place.The chavvy locals probably couldn't read the blurb having drunk too much Stella.
