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?

WhirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrMaking up some flatpack wardrobe with sore wrists, I said we could do with an electric screwdriver, so next day, my girlfriend comes home proudly waving one she bought for £4 in my face. £4! Brilliant.
I put the batteries in, fitted the correct bit, lined up with the screw. Pressed the button. And WWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRR. It span round about as fast as Nana reversing her Zimmer.
