I had a very weird, very retro experience this lunchtime. Lorna and my in-laws are back from their Florida holiday, and I offered to take my mother-in-law's film (yes, film) in for developing. As one of my colleagues remarked "Do they still do that?"
I handed over my film and cash - and was surprised to be handed back a free, replacement film - that was 36 exposures, rather that the 24 I'd handed over.
And somewhere at the back of my head, I got a strange feeling of deja vu - like this was something that used to be quite common, and which has come back into fashion. Am I right? Or am I just mis-remembering?

What? They were in FL and didn't stop in for tea?
And, no, it's not back in fashion. The only thing people are grasping onto is Polaroid, which apparently isn't being made anymore ... making everyone want to buy it.
