Thanks Dave.  I presume you mean the screw should be 50mm into the wall (it
can't protrude outwards from the wall as it has to be fully screwed in).
I can see this will definitely be difficult to pull out, but if the plaster
is soft, won't the tube tend to tilt, pivotting on the head of the screw,
and be pulled so the underside of the face in contact with wall sinks the
plaster?

(I think my sister might repel boarders and prevent any protruding in the
first place.)
