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?

Last christmasmy work colleagues and I did our version of "secret santa" which we called "gyppo santa". Bascially nothing more than a pound - bonus points if bought from an actual pound shop.
I got given the afformentioned 8 lighters for 1 pound. And I was delighted! Yes, some of them didn't work, some of them barely worked and some of them acted like a miniature Piper Alpha, but fuck it . . . you can never have too many lighters!
