what do folk think about lime?

my gardening book has a section on the importance of liming, releases
nutrients, counteracts acidity etc; apparently it's all things wonderful

but local garden shops don't stock it, and the one that does isn't getting
any more once it's gone. He eyes my grey beard and says it's only used by
old people and nobody else bothers

Yes, we use it on the allotments, good for our silt/clay soil, helps break
it up too.
On the garden I do use some lime as I throw some Growmore about and
understand that includes lime.
