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?

Every raincloud has a silver lining...Well - the cheapest, most useless tat I ever bought was an umbrella. £3 for about 20 seconds worth of protection from the rain, until it decides it would rather invert itself and fly off wildly.
However - it did actually also turn out to be one of the more useful items I have ever purchased. Said incident of umbrella wind buggery happened at work - right as a rather lovely member of the opposite gender was walking in the other direction... and was randomly assaulted by my flying umbrella.
Thankfully, she saw the funny side of it, and turned out to be very very nice indeed! Thanks Woolworths!
