    LOL, ye. That really peed me off in the comp. One of the teams was lipping there laminate floor onto the wall and drawing the line on from the underside.

    Me personally i would of liked the walls to be a lot higher but in this case the audience would not be able to see what we was doing. Only problem with comps is others need to see what is going on. Maybe we should have some 'cling film' walls so we can see but if they touch it, it will mark like wall paper!

    i think it all comes down to cost mate. If i remember correct it worked out like £30k per team! i could not get my head around the cost.
