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?

Engineer?Nah it's dead easy innit.
First you need to prise the metal casing off the lighter.
Then rotate the flame control in an anti-clockwise motion. You'd normally just slide it to the right - for big flame, and left - for little flame. Once you've got the casing off you can lift the flame control switch off the gas valve. So what you need to do is slide the flame control doodah to the right and lift it up slightly with your thumb so it come off the valve, put back to the minimal position, lower the flame control bit of plastic and repeat.
After 5-10 turns you should be able to get an impressive flame height.
Good for a laugh if someone asks to borrow your lighter and then watch them ignite their eyebrows.
