i am sure it is Perlite. it is mined in South Africa, which was controlled by the Richardson brothers who were London gangsters in the 60s

thought scrap metal was their thing

scrap metal was their front business along with fruit machines.
google richardson brothers, they were involved in every illegal money venture.

Back in the day my boss saw me putting jute srim over some joints and said it's not needed if you're using bonding first..

they had some stupid ideas , plasterboard lath sheets that you did not scrim just fill the bevel joints then skim.
the time i get asked to over skim those plasterboard lath ceilings which crack to the shape of the board 1200x 500.

I think that this is where spreads of today get the idea of leaving a gap between plaster boards comes from .

Which came 1st,the chicken or the egg type case scenario you mean

Obviously scrim is got to be an advantage, but it’s never gonna stop cracking, we never use to scrim
Plaster lath boards

No amount of bonding or scrim is gonna stop a crack caused by movement in the building, these buildings weigh 1000s of kgs, unfortunately scrim and bonding isn't rated for that.

Removing all old wood around windows or chimney breast before beading will help stop the wood suck moisture out of the plaster but again that method isn't fail safe

Plastering too thick can cause cracks, plastering too thin can cause cracks.

Drying plaster too fast can cause cracks, because of direct sun light, gas cannister heaters etc

Double scrimming your beads or cracks will help again but nothing is 100 percent fail safe and your lying if you say you've never had a crack

Basically, a crack is nothing to worry about and I've just gave you at least 5 reasons to blag on your domestics why this is happening

Merry Xmas the wizard

I prefer these kind of cracks

Happy new years eve
