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?

Cheap tat from 'oop north'I have some northern relatives, who excel in locating the crappiest items ever, as they only shop at Sunday markets or pound shops...
Cans of smell masquerading as deoderant
'Remote control' cars with short cables connecting the remote control, so in reality you have to follow three feet behind at all times
Action men dolls with two inch metal spikes under their heads
DIY kits where the screwdriver handles come away from the stem as soon as any pressure is applied, rendering them totally useless
Hand held LCD 'computer games' which take batteries only made in Russia
'Disposable' washing pegs which break after only one use
Razors that rust as soon as you open the packet
Bleach so weak you could drink it
Fake football shirts which shrink upward after one wash, turning them into crop tops
Generic toy cars which resemble no real car on earth (unlike Matchbox cars) and end up being used to throw at older kids drinking the other side of our garden fence
Fucking useless, the lot of it.
