Fibre RawlPlugs (real ones) with a bit of PVA and an undersized hole has
been the best yet, and even they work loose in time.

So I though of screwing a bit of wood on, with big screws and fixing to
that - but it's ugly.

Have you tried these:

They seem to get a very good grip on the plasterboard that does not work
loose.


Ah, they look better - admittedly the one fixing I never tried.
