I mean a dot and dabbed wall can be just as bad as a lath to get a fixing on sometimes.

Worse in some ways. I use these Corefix plugs

Aside from price I can recommend them. Just hung a really heavy mirror using 3 of them.

The dob and dab catches me out because it's usually only in the basement of the houses I work in. I've only recently started on some new build flats and they need a lighter touch sometimes.
