Farrow and Ball - rubbish or not?

Okay, I realise I am about to offend half of Mumsnet, but I have spent an entire morning having my ear bent by a professional decorator and I need a second opinion?

According to him and his previous experience, Farrow and Ball is a pile of poo, does not wipe clean as it should (have just seen thread here that suggests this is true) , doesn't go on well, and doesn't last long without bubbling in the Westcountry sun (not that I've seen it much recently, mind?).

So - do you agree? What should I use instead? Someone recommended Dulux but I'm concerned the pigments aren't as rich as F&B.

Is Fired Earth any better? Anything else I need to know?? It's for an 1820s house, if that has any bearing at all on anything.

Hello there

We've been contacted by Farrow and Ball, who've asked us to pass on the following:

'After a few customers referencing this forum thread, Farrow & Ball can confirm that their paint and wallpaper continues to be made at their home in Wimborne, Dorset, where it has been for over 70 years.'

Thanks
