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'm a bit of a knife-snobMy mother, having been to catering college, has instilled in me a love of high-quality kitchen knives.
My Sabatier is all well and good - but, oddly, it cannot hold a candle to a Gary Rhodes-endorsed 12" chef's knife that was half price in Woolies about 10 years ago. It has a wonderful weight, perfect balance and I love it so much I sometimes take it to bed with me.
That last bit may not be true... but it is a truly excellent piece of kit that, being a snob, I would never have looked at twice had it been me that found it.
