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?

Cheap fix
Turn it upside down and apply masses of talcum powder to every joint - bloomin' cover every bit of wood you can see. Acts as a lubricant and stops the squeaking. Had a bed at uni that was the same - people from three rooms over knew when I got lucky!
