I’ve seen a few branches of this burger chain when on my travels but have never had the opportunity to visit one. The Sheffield branch has now closed down, so I don’t think my chances of doing so are on the increase…
I was planning on developing a roll of Tri-X today but hit a roadblock when I couldn’t get the film leader out of the cassette. I have an extractor tool, but it’s a bit hit-and-miss, and the alternative method of using a damp piece of film to pull it out failed me as well. I’ve resorted to buying a (hopefully) better extractor.
I wish my Nikon F80 had an option to keep the leader out on rewind.

I use a bottle opener to open the film cartridge.

I do the same if I have to, but I prefer to get the start of the roll onto the reel in the light before moving it to the changing bag if I can, as it’s a lot less fiddly.
Plus I’m trying to save a few intact cassettes for bulk loading into DX coded versions. 😀
