Boots are sucky for processing B/W film, or film in general, anyway. To do a proper job with C41 B/W film you need to load B/W paper to avoid slight but noticeable colour shading. This is too much like effort for them, so they (and a lot of other high street photo developers) just say "oh, we do them all as sepiatone" to hide the slight shading. Boots also dropped and her husband in the shit with the police by dobbing them in as child pornographers when they gave their baby photos to Boots to be developed, which I think still puts Boots in the "arrogantly incompetent" category.
