Now I know old boards suck, but what happened a couple of days ago took the biscuit. So I told him I'll have to bill him a bit more for pva everywhere and doing that wall again, he's cool though! (It's new build, but been going on a while!) this is the most extreme example I've seen! Anyone else had experiences?
New board, old board.

Really? The board in the middle, soaking wet, & the two boards either side almost gone. Causing a right mare!

Well in that case tight coat of bonding you stand more chance with that
It's not different backgrounds pal, it's all board, the whole F*****g house! So how do I deal with that? Pre empt the fact some may go off quicker than others & bond those? Impossible.
Stuart, that's what we're doing pal! That's good advise! Why this forum is here, instead of some moronic (deal with it! ****.) helps no one!

Ask the question mate if you go to look at jobs an it's plaster boarded ask the question how long they been on etc have they absorbed moisture if so your gonna struggle pric the c**t for bonding agent an any extra time it may take you have to tell them the script your the plasterer

Every job is different though, you need to think every time before banging walls on. Partially your own fault but not completely,

Had it once before on a house the boards had gone yellow put bathroom ceiling on went off like a bullet so pva'd everything from there on still went a bit quicker than usual though just cut gauge size down a bit to compensate it

I've found pva isn't man enough in these scenarios,that's why I like the grit
I sort of agree with you john, but there were no signs of discolouration etc, and the customer still insists all the boarding was done at the same time. So there was nothing to shout out any problems! I've had this problem loads before, & can always trowell up, just means moving a bit quicker! But on this occasion, it went off in front of you're eyes! I can't emphasise it enough, so will do that wall again, we were 90% done skimming the house at that point! & had no problems up till that point! Just one of those things I guess!
