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?

Dear God it was Orange.Whilst staying in Cheddar I decided to try some local scrumpy. 50p a pint in 1990 seemed a pretty good deal. It wasn't.
Those of you who drink cider will know what cider looks and tastes like when it comes back up at evening's end. This stuff started off like that. It was traffic-light orange, with stringy bits floating in it and it seared the flesh from the back of my throat. I hold it entirely to blame for my spending most of the next day in bed, sweating and shivering.
I'm told that in the end they banned it since the local teenagers were prone to getting tanked up on it then attacking each other with bottles.
