Buy from speed graphiccheap 35mm films (color or b/w) and put them into CD/DVD/USB in the UK?
Following Floid_Maniac's thread I decided to get into lomography. For this purpose I ordered a cheap DIY Recesky TLR (£7 on Ebay) - pure fun - and will probably buy a basic point and shoot 35mm camera of the 60's/70's/80's on Ebay too (the good ones are incredibly hard to find at low price by the way), if I am lucky this week end.

However, I read that Poundland used to sell cheap Agfa film, but unfortunately they have stopped this year; so I am looking for another cheap source. As for printing, the best option would be to outsource the development of the film from Asda or Max Spielmann and ask them to put the photos into a CD. If it becomes a hobby, then the best option would likely to invest in a cheap film scanner (I saw some on Amazon UK for about £50).
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheap film scanner is NEVER a good option.
Yes, that is actually a standard (and recommended over scanning) practice if you want a good digitised "scan". But that requires having a reasonably good DSLR with a decent lens, so can hardly qualify as "cheaper".
Clever chaps these Chinese even those with a Brit accent!
My cousin has loads of these digital SLR cameras (he buys and sells regularly on ebay), now I just need to convince him to buy a tablet (to replace the luminous table); my phablet could do it otherwise.
I just have to wait for my rudimentary cameras to be able to take bad pictures that look artsy.
7dayshop.com sell a range of 35mm film. I have never bought film from them, but have used them many times for other items.
@Cristobal - there are Trip 35s on ebay for not too much more than your budget. I'm sure you will find one. Sorry, but I would like to hang onto mine. Good luck, and I look forward to seeing some images from your Recesky.
