Does anyone know why 8x4 wood sheets stayed as 2440x1220 on metrification, but plasterboard changed to 2440x1200? I'm sure there are exceptions ...

It will tend to reflect sound too from its foil faces.
It's super stuff when you need a good thermal barrier, but as this is an internal wall ;->

The first drill hole must have missed the rebar and my new SDS drill is so good I did not notice the difference between block and the concrete of the lintel - the second hole hit the rebar and I certainly noticed that!

Probably because plasterboard that did not reach your studs on 16" centres would be really annoying ;-)

Celotex is for heat insulation, for sound insulation they use a thicker heavier rockwool.

They do a version with 20mm of dense cork bonded onto one side and a bituminous foil on the other that's supposed to be better...
