This is stock that was most likely packaged in Annesley (nr. Nottingham) and destined, or maybe even shipped to Eastern Europe, as there's certainly Greek on the box. I don't know if they're 'grey', that usually implies that import duty hasn't been paid, I'm unsure about their status. Compared to modern Kodacolour Gold, it's rather lacklustre, (being based on much older film technology) but I see colour prints as being mainly 'happy snaps' and am therefore not too worried about the lack of quality. But it's consistent, every film has looked the same as the others, rather lifeless!
