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?

Im not going to take a side..since in my opinion bother of you are right In ways.
Legless- I see Musuko's point of view, in your original post you didn't exactly specify that you were on a quiet road. I see it wasn't dangerous after you clarified, but what if something had happened later on? What if you did carry on using that bike and did eventually hit someone? Now I have no idea how dangerous it would be, nor how much harm could be done, but even if it was jsut a little scrape on a kid that you bumped into, its hardly fair to that kid is it?
And you're lashing out and getting angry is pointless, we're all faceless dicks on the internet so why get so bothered about another's posts (don't point out any irony in this, I am just offering my own opinion on the story).
Musuko- I see you're point on legless being a possible danger, but you act like he would have hurt someone, yes it is a possibility that he would hurt someone, but not for definate, but I still doubt the cops needed to do that much of a punishment to him.
I am not a kid of the '60s, and I respect it was a different time, but driving a small bike around that could go pretty fast, and does have a chance to hurt someone (even yourself, Legless) is enough for a policeman to atleast have a talk with you about it.
