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?

I agreed with you Leglessright up to your 'examples' which were, quite frankly, complete and utter bollocks.
Corporal Punishment and beating your kids is in no way a good thing and I'm glad that shit is now highly frowned upon.
I'm no fan of the way things have swung so far the other way but you only have to look at the stories of the Sisters of Mercy in Ireland to see what fucking reprehensable crap was carried out in the name of 'correction'.
If you think the current generation of kids is somehow worse than the previous ones you've been reading too many red-top 'news'papers.
If you think regular child beatings create normal adults you're probably a bit troubled yourself - your own somehow proud admission of disproportionate violence is fairly strong evidence for that.
I'm not arguing with your original post - looks like you did nothing much wrong except give lip to a copper - something I thoroughly approve of.
Maybe your examples post was just further goading of the silly young man and wasn't meant to be taken seriously, either way, it contained more bollocks than the mouth of a Soho rent boy.
