I was expecting slightly less grain. I have shot HP5 before and the grain wasn't as extreme. The film was a couple of years old, so that may be the reason for the more pronounced grain.
I had a lab develop some ilford 25 and they ended up using HC-110 developer. The grain was over the top and left me questioning the lab more than the film. Thanks for the info.
Will definitely be getting back to my lab and discussing the results. I received a number of different rolls today, some medium format, some 35mm and a roll crossed from E6 to C41. Overall the results were as expected and the owner of the lab is very professional. Don't really know why this particular roll shows so much grain, but the film was sitting unrefrigerated for 2 years before shooting.

Ok that's actually pretty funny :-D
Your blog is so deep and filled with information ;-)
Good to see some people with a sense of humour around.
