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?

Homebase lawnmowerYears ago, our lawnmower packed up. So I bought one from Homebase for 19.99. When I unpacked it, I realised the cutting blades were 2 bits of plastic about an inch long. As soon as it started, they both snapped off. Took it back, apparently I was the seventh that week.
