This is a question 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?

Trago fecking Mills...
I think in the year I spent in Falmouth I went in Trago Mills once. I bought a roasting tin which ended up in the bin before it could ever be used.

I'm pretty sure that there's one near Liskeard on the A38. Which is even bigger and filled with even more tat than either the one in Falmouth or in Newton Abbot.

And if anyone wants to know where Trago Mills is in Falmouth, just head down towards the docks. It's right at the end of the street with the Toymaster on, overlooking the harbour.

Edit - you also have to check out the 2nd hand shop which is just off the same street (up a hill). It's got even more tat in than Trago Mills!
