There was literally a Blockbuster at the end of our street, down some steps used to go what felt like every weekend to rent a game for the PS2 for the weekend and return it (obviously)... I don't know if I used it for many films but I'm sure we used it enough since we had a membership card.

Was a bit more of a family "event" really, going to get the popcorn and drinks deal that'd be placed conveniently near the check-out

Towards the end of its life I just used it to buy second-hand stuff, think I stopped 'renting' stuff from there around 2005.

I definitely miss Woolworths more though... again, lived pretty much right in the centre of town and could just wander down every Saturday to get a pick-n-mix, magazine, football stickers or - if I'd just had a birthday or Easter or something - a CD I wanted.

I really miss Panda Pops too. Those and those mini Coke cans that used to be really cheap (like, 4 for a £1).
