Graham,

Why don't you do it yourself? It is dead easy. I do it in the bathroom, or you 
could do it in the kitchen. Get yourself a Paterson tank and a thermometer 
which will resolve 1 deg. C in the region of 20 deg. C. I use the Ilford rinse 
technique which takes about 5 minutes and uses only up to 2 l of water. 

Provided you make sure not to use the chemicals for too many films and keep 
them at a reasonably correct temperature when processing, you can't really go 
wrong. You also need a completely dark space in which to load the tank, or one 
of those large film changing bags will do also. A clock with a nice big second 
hand is also useful.

Jonas
