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?

Is there no longer a Geordie Jeans in South Shield's high street?
I remember many times fighting through the pairs of hideously 'snow washed' tight jeans to find a pair of slightly less hideous stone washed jeans (with the stones still in the pockets). Then popping outside to buy a lighter (why? I don't and have never smoked...) from a guy standing holding six of them, and then picking up a bag of ratty veg for a pound - Vegetable Soup bags.
Then all back to the in-laws for panackelty and round to the club for a quick game of bingo with the FIL....
ah...odd times.
