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?

Remember floppy disks?They had a design lifetime of 24 hours. Now they didn't churn away for very long at a time, but 24 hours really isn't very much. Especially if you are storing valuable data on them.
Oh, and I'm with you on the bells and whistles thing, Greencloud. I don't want automatic lights, wipers, heating systems (or for that matter gearboxes) on a car. I'd rather they spent the money on good quality basic components.
Maybe then I'd be able to get the tailgate of my Laguna open. Bloody thing failed last week. This is not really handy when you play in a band and drive an estate car because you have lots of gear to shift around. Grrrr!
