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?

HehSounds like the wedding my sister-in-law would have if getting married wouldn't cut into her welfare check.
My husband and I made sure that we spent almost all the money for our wedding on the food. I wanted to elope to Vegas to get married by an Elvis impersonator but my mother burst into tears at the idea, so we had a nice, brief ceremony followed by an all-night party and eat-a-thon that ended with me drinking Champagne out of the bottle and my drunk sister chowing down on the leftover crab rangoon at three in the morning and promptly being sick.
No one in my family cared that my dress wasn't a 'wedding dress' or that there are Pink Floyd songs longer than the ceremony itself, but if we'd dared to skimp on the food I'd have heard about it for the rest of my natural life. We could have showed up naked and done it all through interpretive dance and as long as there was a hearty spread of quality food and drink my family would have declared it the best wedding ever.
