Default Pointing
The message
from (Andrew Gabriel) contains these words:


It was quite common for cement to be used in the pointing
with lime mortar houses even at original build, to improve
the protection against weathering.

Against weathering of what?

It certainly "improves" the protection of the pointing against
weathering, but usually has the opposite effect on the weathering of the
brick or stone.
