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?

On the subject of TescosI recently applied for a Tesco loan, as they seemed to be offering the best deal. I was refused on the grounds of my credit report, so I sent away for said report forthwith.
I have never been in chronic debt; I have never had a CCJ; never had a personal loan before; I have never defaulted on mortgage repayments; don't have a criminal record; always pay my council tax on time and most months pay off my credit card in full.
So it would appear that I have been refused a loan on the grounds that I am a model, upstanding citizen whom they probably wouldn't be able to squeeze any extra interest out of because I would be highly unlikely to default on any repayments...
