Yes, I've heard that but I'm pretty sure that it is woodchip due to the pattern of the texture, the little fingernail-able cavities around the chips and the slightly dry hollow sound of them when tapped. It even has visible lines where the roles were laid side-by-side. That said I've read that even woodchip paper can have asbestos in it.
More worryingly people also mention asbestos in plaster and plasterboard. How the fuck does anyone do any work on anywhere that was built before the 80s if even basic plaster walls can have asbestos in them?

Ignorance is bliss. One plasterer was adamant we needed to scrape the artex off before skimming, despite the fact it had tested postive for asbestos.

Plenty of other things that'll kill you sooner than a light sprinkling of white asbestos embedded in plaster. Booze, fags, poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle being the top four.
Edit: Forgot road traffic collisions and suicide. Top six.

Theres actually asbestos in the air apparently and we breath it in, the only asbestos you really wanna worry about is the blue and brown. Thats on another level of bad shit, I think ive only seen brown once.
Also dont worry about it if its not broken up either.

It could be textured paint, which can contain asbestos. We thought we had woodchip paper, was textured paint with asbestos in. Had it skimmed over along with artex ceilings.
