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?

I blame the war...I have been exposed to cheap tat from various directions in my youth. I have some very cheap relatives!
But one of the stranger things purchased must be by my grandma. She is a compulsive bargain hunter - her house is filled with piles of 'stuff' that she refuses to get rid of.
So she returned from a charity auction with her elderly friends. With a stack of 6 old computer keyboards. She neither owns a computer, has ever used one, or completely grasps the concept. But seeing as her children and grandchildren all use them, we may like a replacement battered keyboard. 2 of the said boards didnt work. And I own a laptop. She seemed very put out I didnt want one!
Bless.
(ps; my 1st ever b3ta post! how exciting! and hi Sexface, who got me hooked on this thing!)

KeyboardsPeople keep donating keyboards to me for some reason. My flatmate even brought me one back that he found in a pile of rubbish on the street near our flat.
It wouldn't be bad if I didn't have a laptop. And only usb inputs.
