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?

A Close Friend...takes great delight in spending as little as possible on the worst piece of tatt he can find... for his mothers Crimbo presents.
Worst of all he pretends they are serious gifts so that he gets to enjoy the uncomfortably strained, faked 'thank yous' and laugh at how his mum has to bear their presence in the flat until he leaves again.
Examples in the past few years include:
- A 4ft "Rasta Man" sculpture with his hand out- in his hand is glued an ashtray (she doesnt smoke).
- A second hand inflatable garden pool (their 'garden' is a 5ft square courtyard).
- [and my personal favourite] A fully life sized scupture of the ancient greek discus thrower- crafted & glued entirely out of uncooked penne pasta.
