What length of time do you tell people to leave the skim to dry before papering? I advise on 5 to 30 days before painting dependant on job.

Yes they seem to want to woodchip over my work lately! 
Whoa... woodchip!? That's nearly as bad as putting artex over one of your ceilings. That'd proper get up my nose!
As for how long to leave it. Till it's dry (light pink) there's no reason not to. If it's dry it's dry. You gain nothing looking at a bare wall for another 25 days

The worse bit I hate is when you return to look at another project and they show you the room that you skimmed previously and the painting is rubbish.

I kind of felt like that. I said you do know it doesnt have to be papered don't you.
He said oh, I wasnt sure and the Mrs said it needed to be papered so I just did it. Explained how to paint it next time and he was chuffed to bits as he funking hated papering
