In the UK, Blockbuster has long gone, replaced by Pets At Home and Home Bargains for the most part. There's little need for them when you can vegetate in front of Netflix for three days straight without leaving the house. Four seasons of House Of Cards in 72 hours? Easy. Not even a challenge.

"Oh my gosh! I feel like I'm in 1999!"- he says almost immediately.
