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?

my acer is goodOn the flip-side my Acer is nearing 4 years old and has never once let me down. It gets a hell of a lot of use and abuse too - the scroll button is worn smooth with use.
Its still relatively modern spec-wise, and to prolong its usefullness I have just ordered bigger memory sticks for it, and when funds allow i will fit a bigger hard drive too.
Actually, i tell a lie....the dvd writer stopped reading discs last year, but that was an easy swap.
