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?

Steady on FS...
At our wedding at Acton Town Hall no less: one ring bought for £5.00 from a stall in Ealing; licence? Can't remember paying for it; her dress was a white dress from Next...in the sale, think it cost about £25.00, I had on a charity shop suit and tie; reception? My Mum, Dad and one brother in a pub on the river at Hammersmith, my Dad asked for Champagne but it was the week after the Boat Race and they'd run out. I had a pint of Fullers; honeymoon? my Dad gave us £100 and we spent a couple of miserable nights in Bournemouth in the rain.
It was our 20th anniversary last year...
