I've recently found some disposable cameras (they were lurking in a box in my spare room). Some of them are up to ten years old. I haven't a clue whats on them but would it be worth getting them developed? And if so is there a cheap way of doing this, i.e. sending them off somewhere? Would appreciate any help!

Thanks.

Thanks all, yes all have been used, I had them at various events in college and on hols so I know there's some (very slim possibility) gems on them. Wasn't sure if the film/cameras would have been tainted by now.
