Question AbodeRGB or sRGB?

Ok, here's a question or two for you.

I have my camera set to use the sRGB colour space. I view the vast majority of my pictures on a PC screen, an SRGB compatible device, and I'm quite happy with what I see.

For the few pictures I get printed, should I convert these pics to AdobeRGB for printing? I get my pictures printed in High Street type stores. If I use AdobeRGB for viewing on a screen I get pasty, washed out colours, as I would expect. But does a typical digital photo printing machine expect sRGB or AdobeRGB?

Would I get any advantage by using AdobeRGB for prints?
If I use AdobeRGB, at what stage should I convert them? Use this colour space in the camera? Convert in post processing? Immediately before saving the final image after doing any other processing on screen in sRGB?

Answers on an electron to the usual adress please.

I suspect this is an ideal question for Robski.

Regards,

Duncan
