Just in the middle of the weekend and about ten films to develop, I
discovered that my hypo "had just one too many rolls". The few last dev.
negs are streaked - underfixed, and the control strip of exposed but not

Tesco's just don't carry hypo ;(
Anyway, next time (I promise!) I will stock on it.

20-odd rolls waiting to be done from the fall and winter)
