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?

Thanks
I know, because I had a friend who's a hydraulic engineer come and take a look at it (for free, thank goodness). I know how to fix it, too, but I can't be bothered to do all that work, frankly. It's actually not a bad make, though: it's a Clark. It's just very, very "well used", shall we say.

And thanks for the link: that's great.
