Jon,
My son works in a photo retailer, although they send their stuff away
for processing. I believe there has been a big upheaval recently in
the major players for mass photo processing in the UK. I know his shop
has a lot more quality control complaints than they used to - he has
to deal with the complainers! I'll ask his advice as someone "on the
inside".
I have to confess it doesn't bother me too much as I process my own
:-)
Regards
