No - a rather poor version - just plasterboard sandwich with scraps
as the
filler.


I have a brick version of that. My lounge socket disappeared into the
kitchen.


Cutting into the brickwork to fit a socket in my kitchen pushed a brick
through - and half-way out of the freshly decorated living-room wall.


A mate of mine, was refitting his kitchen and decided that bit of
protruding stonework sticking out of the wall was in the way and needed
to go. So he started prising it out, but was getting a bit concerned
when it turned out to be much deeper than he anticipated.

Eventually, with a strong tug it all comes free. To reveal a hole right
through the wall, and view of his next door neighbour sat at his kitchen
table, puffing on his pipe, and staring at his slowly disappearing wall.
After a moments consideration, he withdraws the pipe, and says is a rich
west country accent, "Morning David, know's what you are doing does you?".
