Cheap Tat
OneEyedMonster 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?

Henry St.
Any Dubliners here will be familiar with Henry Street, the infamous home of '3 GILLETTE MACH 3 BLADES FOR 5 EURO!' knackers.
Walking down the street this christmas I saw a man selling the top 20 cds out of a box hurriedly for 5 euro a pop.
Walking back up the street I saw him being bundled into the back of a police car.
so not so much cheap tat as cheap, but stolen decent stuff.
