Hi Nick, sorry to hijack your thread, but I seem to remember I have an old Kodak camera which came in to my possession after he had passed away in 1997. In the camera I noticed a little while back that the film had only been half used. May decide to take it some where (if there is anyway that develops old 110 film) just to see what the pictures he took were....That is if they will still be in a state to develope.

I (rather foolishly) gave Boots a slightly out of date 110 colour film
to develop a few years ago and the prints came back purple. The girl in
the store refused even to apologise for the defect as she didn't think
it was anything to do with her.

Why should it have anything to do with her. ?

Corporate responsibility should be part of good customer service. Even
if she had said it was because the film was out of date it would have
been something - though I don't remember whether she was aware of that.

Did she ask you whether it was kept at the correct temperature both before exposing and after exposing ?
Did you keep it in a warm place perhaps in a car, or on a window ledge or somewhere else. You do know that both exposed and non-exposed film should be kept cool preferable in a fridge.

Corporate responsibility ends when you don't follow manufactures guides.
