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?

Not really cheap tatJust remembered this one. When I was rather younger than I am today, one fine afternoon, mummy Blue came home pleased as punch having found a real bargain: a pair hightop trainers for a fiver. I can't remember the make, but these were the real deal, not some cheap knock offs. I couldn't work out how she got them so cheap, until I tried them on...
I was rather excited with my new unannounced gifts and spent ages getting the laces just right. Then came the moment of truth: trying them on...
The first shoe went on without any problem at all, but for some reason the other one was rather tighter. I bet you can guess where this is going... Yes she had bought a size 5 and a size 6. I kept them for years at the back of my wardrobe; hoarder that I am.
