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?

OohComedy Hoover!
Last flat I had back in England had a comedy hoover. Honestly, it belonged in a fucking circus.
It was an old upright and any attempt to use it would result in the front flying off at random intervals and the bag inside bursting out perpendicular to the Hoover.
There was many a time when I'd con some unsuspecting mate to run round and do a quick vacuum - usually in return for me fixing their computer. ( Or wee Ben. I just used to bully him into it. We had a deal. He could hide from his dad, one of the local publicans, in my flat in return for light slave duties.)
It was hilarious to watch their faces when the comedy Hoover did it usual thing.....
Good times.
Cheers
We had a proper vacuum cleaner hidden away for real cleaning
