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?

Agreed
That the 'big one' shouldn't be about the money, it should be about how the people doing it want to do it.
That said, there's a weird one-upmanship with Weddings, isn't there? Me and my fair lady just got ourselves engaged, and when her ex-boyfriends now fiance found out about it she said "We'll see whose wedding is better!"
Not that I'm the competitive type, but their reception 'meal' is going to be bacon butties. Nothing wrong with that, except there won't be a choice of sauces as "he doesn't like sauce" (fnar), and he is going to cook them at home before the wedding and then heat them up at the reception.
Dysentry, anyone?
