A decorating freind of mine swears by Jhonstones - it is good quality paint,

As did a decorator I know. Bought a load of Johnstones myself, think it
is absolute and utter rubbish. It was the Matt emulsion. When fully
dried, the slightest knock on the walls scuffs the paint. After about 1
month, the rooms (about 5 of them), looked liked they needed repainted.

Emulsion takes many weeks to set to full strength.
Drying and setting aren't the same thing.
