looks like the last people to decorate my room had the same problem as you, unfortunately they dont appear to have been as dilligent in removing the
large patches of stuck on paint  could be worse, in my old room when i tried to strip the paper all the plaster fell off the wall, literally. had to
strip it all back to the brick bar one wall. great fun! one of those masks would have been nice though!

I'll tell you something - that steam wallpaper stripper's certainly done the job!
Shifted all the thick paint that needed removing, just leaving me to rub down the rest, unibond, then the Polycell stuff to get it ready for painting.
Sounds a lot of effort, but it's just a few hours here and there.
Thanks to everyone for the helpful suggestions - as for the other 'suggestions' - you're a cruel lot on here!
cheers,
David
