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?

Daily Mail?Don't just assume what I do and do not know. I may be considerably younger than you, and those days are gone, but I live in Yorkshire, not some snobby suburb of London.
The fact is, Legless, that you were breaking a law...a law that was put into place for safety reasons; a motorcycle piloted by an underage kid, no matter how slow, on a pavement is dangerous.
Only 10mph? Shall we spin a motorcycle tyre up to the speed it'll be going on a bike at 10mph and then apply it to a four year old's face?
Face it. You were an idiot. You acted dangerously. You got pulled up on it. And instead of blaming yourself for doing something so truly obviously against common sense, you blame the people who stopped you doing it. It doesn't matter WHAT their motives, they did their job correctly. You WERE in the wrong.
I really get the feeling you're the type to say "Don't you have real criminals to catch, Guv?" when pulled over for speeding.
