Cheap Tat
OneEyedMonster 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?

Without a doubt it has to be
fake Nike Air Max trainers from Brighton Race Course Market.
The last time I went, it was a bank holiday, so there were plenty of small groups of indian chaps peddling their realistic looking wares. Now I've had a real pair of Nike Air Max and they cost me £120, they look identical to the fake ones, with one exception, their place of manufacture. They manage to make them with such cheap materials and labour that I picked up 4 pairs for £5 a pair!
Bargain!
Like fuck! They last approximately 1 month, if you are lucky, within that time you could suffer from all manor of foot discomfort as well as the trademark Nike Air Rotting Corpse System TM smell that you get in the real McCoys.
I went for a walk the day before Christmas eve, it was quite a long walk along the cliff edge toward Beachy Head and the coast guard cottages, I had my camera so I wasn't planning on doing any jumping. Anyway, by the time I got back I was exhausted and my feet were somewhat uncomfortable...
My right big toe nail had been pushed in so far it was completely bruised and bleeding, and fucking painful. Almost 2 weeks later and it still has a purple nail but the pain has gone.
Cheap Nikes anyone?
