Worst gadget I ever had was the ex-wife. It never worked, was a real pain. I'll never buy one again. :evil:

a thing I bought in the gadget shop in 1989. It had flashing lights and had four sounds - bomb, missile, nuclear weapon and machine gun. I wired it up to the car speakers and pretended to zap other drivers who annoyed me. I still wonder what I did with it

The worst one I ever bought, back in the iron age, was a compass for the car.
You see, compasses work by magnetism and a car is, well, you know, kind of irony.
Ironic eh?

I still haven't got over the joy of having a whizzy new bottle opener to replace the old sort that left your fingers all mangled and bloody every time you opened your wine. Worst gadget was a little car vacuum that scooped up all the debris through one tube and then blew it out onto your head, through another.

But, taking the gadget biscuit is a bread making device I saw yesterday in Lakeland, for £97.
As opposed to making it by hand for nothing..... :roll:

Lakeland is the biggest rip off known to man, they charge about £2.50 for some cling film you can buy in wilko for about 35p

I'd say it's pretty much acceptable in all situations without causing a kitchenlightgate.
Unless you have a full crash helmet on maybe.
