I know that if an electrical connection is to be plastered over it must
be
crimped or soldered.

No electrical wire or connection should be plastered over.

Care to expand on this point?

The house gets sold, the new owner decides to hang some pictures, bangs a
nail into the plaster and through the wire.

I would have thought that the danger of plastering over was obvious.

99.9% of UK houses have plastered in wiring.

That I cannot believe!

I thought surface mount
went out in 1955.

Who mentioned surface mount?
