London exam - Anyone else hear the Taste of Christmas disturbance? different, suddenly, speaker, cooking

nixie24

During the paper last week, there was a 'Taste of Christmas' event going on in the Excel Centre, at the same time as the CFA Level 1 exam (in a different room of course).

However, when I hit the equities section, I suddenly started hearing 3-5 second blasts of cooking tips given by some cheerful woman who seemed to be hosting the event - Played loudly over the speaker system in OUR exam hall! I was super distracted and scared that it would go on throughout, but luckily the proctors managed to take care of it within 20 minutes.. This was really annoying though, and I was lucky enough to have enough time left to complete the paper - Though I spent 10 minutes on one question because I was so distracted by her voice (really irritating).

Anyone else on the forum heard this??
