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?

Like the RoylesWe're "laminated throughout". It's receding into the annals of bad taste these days, but I love the stuff. It was already in this house when we moved in, but I put it down in our last house and would never return to fitted carpets.
Since her pregnancy, the wife's become somewhat neurotic about cleanliness and spends most of her evenings and weekends on her hands & knees with the hoover (Tesco value dontchaknow!) or the dustpan. On sunny days when any dust on the floor is illuminated, she's like a woman posessed.
My point being that the phenomenal amount of dust and small spillages that are easily removed from a hard floor would never come out of a carpet - not even with a dyson.
