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?

My 21st birthday
A few years ago I turned 21 and my friends, being poor students decided it would be an idea to buy 21 items for £1 each. This resulted in such delights as:
a doll's tea set.
a grotesque figurine of a tennis player who I can only assume is Pete Sampras.
a pack of 5 childens' toothbrushes.
a cannister of butane gas, and
an LP of Middlesborough steelworkers singing various folk songs.

If you don't want that LP, I do!
I'd love to have it- sounds like it would be a total classic!
