The Yorkshire Dales have many damaged limestone pavements. Intact
limestone pavements allow the growth of many uncommon plants in the
deep cracks between the stones - eg dark red helleborine, baneberry.
Possibly he disapproves of the "politically correct" tut-tutting
about the use of limestone for rockeries?


Yes, I guessed that might be what he was on about. Damned political
correctness! A chap can't even eat a tiger these days without some
trendy leftie whining on about it.
