Breaking The Final Rule Of Lime…

Your bollocks list should also mention that hydrated builders lime works just fine in render formulations. I'm not in the UK and the only lime source here is hydrated, there's no Hydraulic Lime available (Australia). Ive compared both fresh bagged hydrated powder with the same immersed in water for 12 months. The results regarding setting are similar. Strangely the UK Nat trust and our Australian Nat trust spruke similar advice for repairs to lime era walls (use of lime putty). Great to read your thread!

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume the autocorrect feature interceded to change your intended word to this handle used by some rather curious DJ rather than the properly spelled 'spruik'? Whilst my reply here may, just barely, qualify as an apt example of this Australasian term, it is not intended as such and nor is it relevant to the content and objective of my real message. This being;

Another perishing colonial! Now we have one chucking curve balls to confuse and befuddle us Pommies and the other annexing our heritage to plunder its most useful Anglo Saxon nouns and adjectives. That's just not cricket chaps.

Yep that all makes sense and fits perfectly into this same pattern of strangely specific beliefs being “telephone game”d into absolutist mythologies.

It all reminds me of this Mitchell and Webb skit, which on the surface is a comedy but is actually bloody terrifying.
