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 heard one of these things oncea proper iTrip, as it happens, and it sounded crap.
So, using some of the skills and knowledge I had gained after years of science training, I wired up my car with a proper iPod dock plug connected to the CD changer port of my stereo (the changer having been sold on ebay), with suitable buggering about with electronics to make it work. Cost me all of a fiver for the cable and connector (plus a couple of hours of swearing and £35 for the little holder thing to mount the iPod in) but my iPod now plays in pristine stereo and charges at the same time.
I was dead chuffed with this, but I see you can now buy car stereos with exactly this connection system ready made, thus cutting out the swearing part.
