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?

This Christmasmy present, from my parents of all people, was a wind up charger for a mobile phone.
Apparently winding this thing for 3 mins will produce enough power for an 8 min phone call.
It fits old models of phone from 4 manufacturers (Nokia, Motorola, Siemens, Samsung)....
I have a Sony Ericsson.
I can comfort myself in the knowledge that should for any reason there be a total loss of all mains, or even solar, power availability I can charge up someone elses phone.... so long as it's old enough to match the dated adaptors I have.
