Only time I've PVA'd a wall before tiling is if it is lime plaster

most absorbent wall would be bare plasterboard - and not had any
problems tiling direct to that using a decent ready mix.

I get a surprising amount of 'a few of my tiles have fallen off'
jobs.

Probably through using a cheap/unsuitable adhesive. I had that when
using a Wicks one.

I never know what adhesive has been used, but its always the adhesive has
firmly stuck to the tile but not the wall, so I assume its due to lack of
PVA.
