Hi Doug, it was a single isolated incident. However I did find that Walmart
gave me very consistent development at a good price. This is presumably through
their economies of scale. As this is not in house development you are not
subject to the vagaries of inconsistent technician training such as occur with
many co-located 1-hour photo labs. I'm now located approximately 3,000 miles
further east just off the E01, European route 1 locally known where I live as
the N11, and I haven't yet located a local 120 processor, though I will
probably try Conns cameras in Dublin if I cant find anything closer.
I miss CT.
All the best
