I normally like to read the Jeff Howwell column in the Telegraph

My early 70s house has brick or blockwork walls throughout, upstairs

is he talking ********?
He's talking ********! victorian terraced houses have always been
'brick' partitions
No, you are. Timber framed lath and plaster
walls are common in Victorian terraced houses.
T&G panelled walls are also not unknown from
that time.
Woops! and then somewhere else in the thread I said...
"oops! hold the front page, recollections of me younger days on the job
reveals some walls where studded, they being a none load bearing wall".
