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?

The defrost button is purely for show. I never freeze bread, but I'v epressed that button several times and it makes precisely NO difference.
Incidentally, why doesn't bread fit in the bastard? I use regular size bread, I even tested tesco value bread (not to eat of course - just from curiosity) in case it was a brand compatibility thing. It only copes with small square slices, so I have to either cut an inch or so off the top of each slice or stop it half-way and flip the bread upside down.
I don't like toast enough to pay £30 for a fancy one though.
