do you concurr??
Indeed, where he is working and doing what will determine best for him.
Building - use the latter. Reinstatement (i.e. fillets in paving etc) that will be subject to local highway authoirty inspection use whatver goes off quicker i.e. the former. The longer it take to go off the more likely some little twunt will right his name in it and the council will fail it....

He was moreover saying that it's better in construction, eg
buildings with lime based mortar will have no need for those ugly cavity ties every few feet interupting the pretty brickwork as the lime will allow expansion & contraction!! also it doesnt degenerate as quckly, he said that a large amount of construction work going on at the mo was maintenance due to concretes longevity issues??
