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?

this is what turned me goth!
Well...one of the reasons anyway!
My mother used to dress me and my sister in nearly matching *shudders* jogging suits til we were far too old - my sister's was yellow and had 'LEMON' (yeah, in the 80's when lemon meant lesbian, and she constantly had the piss taken out of her ) emblazoned on it, I was slightly more lucky in that mine was only orange.
Our other 'choice' of clothing was cerise jogging suits....
Luckily, I had two older brothers, one who was nearly as short as me, so while he was off yomping in the Engineers, I used to nick his jeans and stuff (I remember desperately trying to get my size 5's to fit in his uber cool size 8 bondage boots...hehe, he still doesn't know that)
