thought it would be interesting to know what you bought from the pounbd shop or market which dion't work but which you din't ask for a refund on "because it was only a pound, what did you expect"

I'll start -

a car vaccuumm cleaner, i thought wow a pound, needless to say it never worked

also some ornaments with led light lights in, the batteries were in wonky and required walloping hard to get them to light up and i gave up and threw them away

My mum bought me some measuring spoons for my cooking but they were too stiff to use.

that reminds me of the spoons i bought for cooking, the slotted ones, but theres a gap between the handle and the actual spoon which is in two pieces so the thing keeps coming apart and when glued back together creates a space where water gets in when its washed up so the next time you pick it up you get drenched. :eek:

plus the set of knives where the blade is so biarrey placed against the handle that you couldnt actually cut anything with them.

I took some vacuum bags back and got a refund with no problems at all.

I used to work in a pound shop.

I'm waiting for the people who returned the used umbrella they had for a few months before it blew inside out to post...

I used to work on a market stall and when traders would turn up the market manager would ask them what they were selling and if they said SWAG lines it was ok. Sold Without A Guarantee.
