This is a question 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?

We love BSE
I cannot have been the only student in the country whose first move, when the BSE crisis really hit in 1995/6, was to load up a trolley of suddenly-cheap beef.


Can I?

After that outbreak of Bird Flu at the Bernard Matthews farm broke out, I bollocked over to Tescos and cleaned up on Matthew's Turkey Roasts that had been reduced to about 0.06p..you know the ones.

BSE and vet students
You may well laugh, but my brother was at vet school at the time and his lecturers told the class that they should head to Sainsbury's with the biggest carrier bags they could find for just this reason. I think they added the caveat that they should avoid anything too processed (ie bits of spinal cord in it) but that steak and roasts would be fine.
