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?

BikeI am a student at Cambridge Uni, land of the bike. Thusly, I had to have one. First day of the second year (the first year I had spent being fat and taking the bus), I went to the local bike shop to get a shiny new mode of transportation.
It was shite from the second day onwards - I should have figured that the frame was too small, the brakes were lethal and it has no suspension whatsoever. It at least deters me from going to lectures, so not all bad :)
Lesson? Invest in a good bike. Simple as.
