Carpet over Laminate Flooe

Laminate should aways be ripped up.
Quicker to lay it over the laminate ie all you have to do then is take a couple of shavings of the bottom of each door/s
This technique works fine until after a few iterations you reach the bottom hinge...
Excuse Andy, he was bitten by a laminated dog from Aldi as a young lad.
I've seen laminate floor laid over carpet :-)
No problem, but don't forget the underlay, and the "mind your step" sign over the door...
Is that popular in Sittingbourne?
I'm reminded of the old public information film... "Put a rug on a polished floor -- you might as way lay a MANTRAP!"
I try not to visit Sittingbourne, the only good thing there is Axminster Power Tools - and the A249 coming back out.
The laminate over carpet was in a bedroom in my daughters rented house.
