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?

Moroccan marketsI lived out in various parts of Morocco for a year and what i found with some of the markets was that there were generally three types, the dead/nearly dead animal ones(like a bloodbath), the tourist junk ones and then the jumble sale stall where the poorest people sell what ever they can get their hands on be it half a phone, pc fan or bits of toys and half a magazine. I always felt sorry for them because unlike the beggars who you could never be sure of (on the blag) these people were doing what they could to survive and were too proud to beg, in the end you buy something just to donate some money to them.
Because of that i am the proud owner of a mickey mouse watch with no hands, a half chewed call to prayer tape and my finest peice of tat half a german jizz mag.
