Hi Saxfiend, no worries, I KNOW YOU WEREN'T YELLING AT ME! 
but thought I'd check incase I'd unintentionally offended. I have a cheeky sense of humour incase you hadn't noticed. I'm unsure if we wear helmets for bouldering in the UK either.
Didn't realise there were varieties of sandstone. I know the sandstone we have in the South of UK, is that rounded smooth stuff; at harrisons. Admittedly, I prefer what you can grip onto and what holds you.
In the North of England we have gritstone. In fact we have every kind of rock for climbing in the whole of the UK. Check out: http://www.ukclimbing.com/databases/crags/bookinfo.html?id=25
Talking of gritstone;
my friend in the UK just returned from the Peak district and led an E1/HVS, our 5.10a over here, said the top end had little protection so he was bricking himself on that part (the crux obviously), that's more than I'd have done.
Yes they do tend to cut themselves a bit on that stuff, I heard alot about that when the club I was in returned from climbing up there one weekend.
