The actual Blockbuster store or like a gamestore attached to the blockbuster, owned by Blockbuster? (Like how we have Game Crazy here, it's attached to Hollywood Video and owned by them)

I know this is a stupid question, but seeing as I'm not british...

Please explain the slang for you currency. I undersatnd waht a pound is, but is a quid the same as a pound? Or is it some other crazy thing? and what is a "p". Becuase in Decline Christmas, Dim's contribution was 26p and a packet of m&m's, which was supposedly very little. If it was pounds that be like $50 CAD.

That clears things up a bit. Dim contributed 26 pennies, not pounds. Thanks guys!

Think of it how you guys sometimes say 50 bucks instead of 50 Dollars - this is the British equivalent.

Yes, but 'bucks' is slang, is 'quid' slang also?

yes quid is slang too, as far as I know, it's not a really currency or anything.
