Tend to only see this price on the white smooth - so good to see it on every shade. Get ready for a bank holiday weekend of painting! In-store, my local had lots available.

Any reason you think it's rubbish? I've got a garden wall on the edge of my property that I painted a good few years back and half strength jet was every few years, it's held up very well considering birds shit on it and leave all the leftovers of bird food fall on it.

What a boring range of colours - red, grey or beige, I've had more inspiring shades of poo in my toilet

I put this over my red paint on my house. Apparently its made my bedrooms smell of damp! All bedroom external walls got mold so i had to make a new wall and put a damp proof sheet between.
Are you supposed to use damp paint before this or what???

It's never a good idea to paint the external walls of a house. Brick is designed to absorb water and then dry out again, by covering it with impermeable paint any absorbed water can't easily dry out, and can lead to damp. Mold is often a result of condensation, and that's best prevented by increasing ventilation in that area.
You can panel it out with plasterboard with insulation behind it, that will help with surface condensation, although you'd need a small air gap behind all this to reduce condensation on the covered brickwork.
Avoid injectable damp proof chemicals, it's all a BS scam
