carefull now taffy,if you disagree with them a certain amount of times they bar you from site, you know and i know because we are bricklayers by trade what and where we can use certain materials , i think of like talking to a building inspector they know it but hardly know anythingI know the soft ones your on about, never see them now.
I think the term for common is used down here for the concretes, because for example, when they are used on block and beam, setting out the walls, then concrete floor is poured, so that the walls go on bricks rather than the concrete. Just boring grey smooth concrete bricks, used for groundwork etc, hence the name commons. That is why I said that they are the same as consolidated "face" versions and can be used below dpc.
Use them for our return cuts etc, on blockwork, as they don't like you putting a clay one in
There is no way in this world the soft clay bricks you refer too should be used.
after the_bricky_instructor agreed with me about using sand face flitton same material as a common not the common your talking about lol ,he emailed he can no longer log on, now what on earth is going onI know the soft ones your on about, never see them now.

correct john dwhen I lived in Essex, people called plain pink Flettons (no facing sand or texture) "Commons"
down here, they use "commons" to mean "the cheapest brick you can find for use where it won't show and doesn't matter"
A common brick is made of clay
You can't get a common brick made of concrete - that will be a concrete brick.
