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?

Chinese Cut-throat "Safety" RazorI spent 6 weeks trying to keep a sense of humour in China (land of the public dump). It was time to buy a new razor...
Now, bear in mind the reputation the phrase 'Made in China' has, then factor in that the stuff they export is actually of rather higher standard than the crap they produce for the home market. Presumably due to utter lack of safety standards. (Think American TV works on the same principle)
So, bought razor, went & lathered up & was about to drag it across my face. Did a double-take as I noticed the blade stuck out from the safety-guard-bits by about 2mm. Still puts my teeth on edge to think about it, think in terms of using a woodwork plane on a piece of pine wood... *cringes*
/length? Looked like Gerry Adams after a while...

been thereI too bought a Chinese razor. Lifted it to my chin and the head fell off, and it was impossible to reattach. I probably got off easy...
