Advice on what paint is MR F proof please.

I posted on here today about Mr F making a mark on a newly painted wall. The wall had been painted by a decorator using Leyland/Johnstones Matt Emulsion. This was approx £34 for 5 litres so not a cheap paint.
What I am looking for is advice on what paint to buy for when I redecorate as my nice clean walls are not going to stay that way for long with mucky Mr F about.
I want a hard wearing - WASHABLE emulsion.

    Dulux do Something called a Trade Diamond Matt. This is a gewnuinely scrubbab;le matt emulsion. Its nit cheap though, but it is good. Alternatively use an acrylic eggshell. Again, a matt finish but very tough and is typically specified in commercial premises.

    Alternatively again give your nice newly emulsioned walls a coat of decorators varnish after painting.
