Found in Tesco Merthyr Tydfil, not sure if national but was on the last paint offer I saw. Good price even just for normal paint but I hate going over white with white so hope this helps. BTW was in silk not Matt.

I bought some of this a few years ago and just so you know it stinks!!!!!
It took well over a week for the vile smell to leave my house.
Good deal for cheap paint but not a great paint in my opinion.

I used Johnstones silk from B&M. Overpainting white, 2 coats were nowhere near enough.
So I went out and bought some Dulux to finish it off. The Johnstones will be going to the tip, although it is tempting to pour it over the front of Mr Leahy's store.

I can also confirm this turns yellow after a while - used it in my previous house! I've just used Johnstones silk in my lounge and after two coats, it's perfect coverage - was £4.79 a tin (see previous deal from some lovely poster!) and I've also used Wilkos own kitchen/bathroom paint, which I've found to be equally as good in my wetroom!

For bigger jobs I would say Leyland white from b and q gives a better finish than this, also Leyland seems to dry whiter! £20 ish for 10 litres! But if you've just a ceiling or small room then this will be fine!
As for the pink, it may be my eyes but I still can't see much difference between it and the ceiling I'm putting it on!

Great!!! You beat me to it. Dulux did have a problem they never quite admitted to.

Cheap oil prices is good for the 99% percent, the media wants us to belive it is bad for us all.
