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?

MumMy mum loves a bargain and places absolutely no value on quality.
She loves poundshops, and actually brought me to tears a couple of years ago when she proudly declared that she'd done the Christmas shopping at B&M. It's a family joke that she's so tightarsed that her shit's like cotton reeling off a bobbin.
However even mum surpassed her previous tightarsery the year that she sent me and the bro Christmas cards.
Aye, Christmas cards.
Given to her by my sister.
Whose husband runs a printers.
Who'd been given some sample Christmas card prints.
With the word SAMPLE ptinted on them.
On the front.
On the back
And on the inside.
She wasn't even inventive enough to make light of it all by doing summat like:
To Heyzeus,
Merry Christmas
SAMPLE
some ale and have a great time,
love mum x.
