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?

Rugs m'dear, rugs.The laminate stuff is great for practicality but awful to sit / lie on. The wife wanted to have carpets fitted and replace our leather sofa with a fabric one when we moved to make the place 'cosier' as our baby was on the way.
I flatly refused, envisaging several years of urine, faeces, vomitus, food, and drink mishaps. She (miraculously) now admits that I was right.
