Cheap Tat
OneEyedMonster 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?

Man after my own heart
Just got rid of the worst car I ever owned (nearly) which was a reasonably new Peugeot 206. Exhaust fell off, the brakes seized up etc. etc. Off-loaded it and spent £450 on an old Toyota Carina E with 200k on the clock - a dream car!
I'm not going to get a flatscreen telly until our current Tesco purchased Thorn TV gives up the ghost.
