35mm photo developers?

I have a few 35mm films from way back (about 8 years) which contain mostly snaps, but I notice there are few places that do photo processing anymore.

Any suggestions on where to get them developed?

and

Are they likely to come out okay?

A location would probably help mate. As for coming out okay, I'd be dubious that films that age will produce anything worth getting printed.

Thanks for the reply, I live in a cave (aka North West Wales). Somewhere local would be great, but I suspect it's unlikely.

Are there any Truprint-style postal services available?

Yeah, quite a few IIRC. Truprint themselves are still going, a quick google brings up a few results.
I've no idea how close you are to Bangor, but http://photoimagingwales.co.uk/ comes up if you search film processing north wales, so that might be a starting point.
With regards to getting those films printed, having said that I'd be dubious, there's an awful lot of people on ebay selling out of date film, so I may well be wrong on that score.
Good luck

Thanks again, that's a very useful link, I am indeed close to Bangor......I'll check them out.
