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?

To MusukoI cycled faster on my pushbike than 10mph as a kid. And I was a fairly heavy kid. With the reflexes of a corpse.
But, because the engine I used was myself (powered by all the goodness that a 1980s MacDonalds would give) rather than a bike engine mine was legal.
I crashed (repeatedly) into my little brother due to lack of attention (and bad brakes). Legless crashed into no-one.
Who's the danger to society now?
Also, he was lippy to people who he thought were just people trying it on. And the 1960s- 2007 comparisons were a little extreme, but nonetheless a good show of what isn't entirely unlikely!
