does anyone know of anywhere still doing this?

and a 2nd question - what code do they look for on the side of b+w film that means it can be processed in a colour lab? i think it's C41 but so long since I used to do this I can't for the life of me remember for sure!!:o

As an aside, dropped in an Ilford XP2 B&W roll (C41) to Boots to have developed (FYI Don't do what I did), story here . You don't need to send away (even though Boots bloody did!) so some local stores might be able to help you out, worth asking around. I could find nothing online myself either so gave in in the end.
