I used to work for Crown. We used to rate Johnston's and Leyland, from
the same company as I recall, against 'our' Brolac/Macpherson [1],
'value for money' ranges. Of course, we always said that Crown was

were owned by Akzo Nobel, which also owned Crown. About four years ago
Brolac was replaced by Macpherson nationally. A year or so back Akzo
Nobel bought ICI, including Dulux, and sold Crown to its management.

No wonder I am (maybe we are?) confused, if it ain't owned by Akzo
Nobel, it was...
