To avoid regional differences in what things are called. I should have called them hollow wall anchors. But if I ask for a box of dry wall anchors at a certain size and that's what I get. If I ask for umbrella or brolly fixings I'd get a confused stare.

Same as 100A Service blocks, we call them Isco's, you call them Henleys
Actually had to look it up the first time I heard the term Henleys
 
If it is plasterboard you are attaching to then plenty of options, but if it is horrible old lath-and-plaster then a board fixed to whatever beams you can find is a much better idea.

Actually, I don't think lath-and-plaster comes in any options other than "horrible and old".
