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?

Marvellous stuffImpossible to drink it neat, but gets a lot better if you dilute it. Makes passable rum truffles too, and is truly spectacular if you're setting fire to a Christmas pudding (think the vodka margarine moment from Bottom).
Stroh 80 is actually partially responsible for me and the present Miss Photon getting together - I was demonstrating how flammable it is even when diluted with a normal quantity of Coke, and she was so impressed she took me home. Of course, some might argue that's more to do with the going-blind-if-you-drink-it aspect...
