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?

Anyone ever go to Tradex?I went semi-frequently (mostly with parents and was fascinated by the bulk sweets for sale...) and once bought a swiss army knife type product. It cost me about a quid or two, I thought it was fantastic, slight problem: I tried to use the corkscrew to open a bottle of wine. Upon being twisted, the corkscrew proceeded to resist and completely straightened itself out, turning itself into a skewer instead. A skewer that also wouldn't fold back into the knife.
No idea why I was trying to open a bottle of wine when I was 8 or so...
