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?

The Computer of DoomBack when I was younger (had just started secondary school) my mother bought a Compaq computer for £50.
For a while this computer was great but...
eventually it started running oddly, would overheat in about 5 minutes and would eventually just pack up all together.
We kept this computer for a while and rescued the hard drive from it, it's now a secondary hard drive in the computer we have. and does it's job well.
If you ever buy cheap crap that packs up, try and salvage something from it.
