Strange. Chipboard is more expensive than plasterboard.


Maybe there wasn't any plasterboard on the lorry with the loose
tailgate that week :-)


Actually very cheap and very crap chipboard is often used as packing

got tiled over.


As such, it is essentially 'free'


True - but sheets large enough to do walls with would be a different
