Neither

take a photo. Team Bishop thought Team Green hadn't turned up and so
left the scene! When Team Bishop returned Team Green took a photo but
it was judged after time!

Result - a draw on points, but
the judges awarded the win to team Green for having more pictures.
Finished!
Time for some fantastic pizzas in a little Lille
restaurant.
