How does rainwater make limestone statues wear away quickly?
This is a result of "acid rain" caused when rain falls through air containing high levels of pollution gases, chiefly sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. This forms a weak solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid that can slowly dissolve limestone (crystal forms of calcium carbonate) and even marble (calcium and magnesium carbonates).

Although I was only a baby at the time Bread Pudding has always been there. It was another way of using what you had and bread would go stale very quickly and cooking a Bread Pudding was another "something to eat" during the war.

Do all rocks react with rainwater at the same rate?
No. Rainwater is usually slightly acidic because of the carbon dioxide dissolved in it. Sometimes, it can be strongly acidic, if pollutants like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are dissolved in it. Both weakly and strongly acidic rainwater react with some rocks, but only ones that are alkaline. Chalk is almost pure calcium carbonate and reacts fairly quickly with rainwater. Other rocks that contain calcium carbonate include limestone and marble and these react a little more slowly. But some rocks, like sandstone, are actually acidic and don't react with rainwater (though they are still physically weathered by rain). Granite also doesn't react with rainwater and it physically weathers much more slowly.

Why do you find shells sticking out of the stone in buildings?
Because the building is made of limestone, and the shells became integral to the limestone as it was being formed, but they don't erode as quickly as the limestone in the rain.
Is limestone suitable for outdoor paving?
Limestone looks beautiful, but you also have to remember that limestone erodes quickly. Limestone contains minerals such as calcite and dolomite, these minerals react to many acids e.g hydrochloric acid, acids found in juice.
