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?

Strange...I have a Medion PC from Aldi I bought 2 years ago.
That's 3ghz dual core, firewire, USB2, card readers for nearly every type of memory card, DVD dual layer & Lightscribe writer, 250gb Hard Drive, 1gb DDR2 RAM. DVB-S & DVB-T tuner (for Freeview)...shitloads of features....
NEVER had a problem with it. Converts DVD to DiVX (for my Archos AV500 PVR) in basically half the time the film plays back in real time (like, 45min or thereabouts).
PC's from Aldi generally aren't crap. Dunno about the laptop PC's though...
