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?

helmetstrust me a helmet isnt just a helmet, ive seen what happens to some of the cheaper helmets you can buy on impact, and ive also discovered 1st hand what a decent lid (top of the range shark foggy rep, rsr when they were the latest ones) comes down from a fairly good hight at about 50mph onto a road and curb, id have hated to be wearing a cheap helmet!
rule of thumb with m/cycle crash helmets, find one that fits and spend as much as you can on the best brand name you can get, (shoei, agv, arai, shark dianese etc) and then dont crash, its horrible having to fork out £400+ on a new one because you did something silly
