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?

Should have known betterBought a bike from a man in Brick Lane (market in East London)who, well, if I'm honest had teeth that would have put Shane McGowan's on the highest dental pedestal known to Colgate.
It cost £60, I rode it round the block, bought it.
The chain is knackered, the seat no longer stays still and the brakes rub agiant the wheel rim.
Although that be my fault for when I lost my rag with the likkle fucker and threw it against the wall as it had almost got me deaded.

Why on earth you would buy anything from Brick Lane Market escapes meHowever, at least it wasn't food.

A friend of mine brought a bike from Brick Laneprobably for less money, changed it to a fixed gear and it is now fucking ace.
Also the £1 t shirts on the sunday are ok, I only buy white ones and have to check for stains, but other than that I've had one which I spray painted a design on(spray paint also brought from Brick Lane for £3) and has lasted me since last summer and is still in decent condition.
