What is this myth about falling through the ceiling when you're in the

I fell through mine years ago. Just foot went through. Messy in wife's
closet but easy to patch as I did not have to make it that presentable
as you never saw ceiling. Are you confusing lathed plaster with plaster
board?

I've got 10mm plasterboard, attached between 2 foot apart joists, with support struts across every so often.

Lathed plaster was stopped in the 50s?

A recent study found that the average Aussie walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found that Aussies drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means that, on average, Aussies get about 41 miles to the gallon!
