On the subject of texture. What is with the US and 'texturing walls'? I don't get it, why would you want a bumpy wall?

I'm not a fan myself but a bumpy wall is easier to put in than a perfectly smooth one. I have a few bits of substandard plastering and the very small snags / gaps / scrapes stick out an absolute mile for me. A bumpy wall might look rubbish but at least imperfections are harder to spot.

I get that but I've seen plenty of 'period' properties over here that have lumpy walls and people don't seem to mind. Meanwhile this American was applying texture to a brand new wall in a brand new building which I don't see why it wouldn't be smooth and flat if the tradespeople are half competent.
