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?

Curvy,I have no beef with you mucking around on a farm. There, the only person you're going to hurt is yourself, and that's your responsibility. Incidentally, even in this nanny state that you all seem to think we live in, it's not illegal for you to drive a vehicle around on private land, whatever your age, licence or not. I know of a 12 year old who owns and rides his own tractor (one that he built himself and all), up on the farm where we get eggs.
What I object to, and what Legless seems perfectly happy with, is doing that same stuff on a public road, where you could very well hurt someone else, someone not involved in your day's fun. That's not fair on them.
And breaking the law just to spite power-hungry cops does nothing to hurt them, you know. It just gives them something else to bother you for. Smart.
