Did the earth move? The bloody house fell down!
Caroline Cartwright from Washington, Tyne and Wear, has appeared at Newcastle Crown Court. She's appealing against a conviction for breaching a noise abatement notice, after she was found guilty of making loud noises during sex. In her defence, she argued that she had a right to
respect for her private and family life
under Article 8 of the Human Rights Act.
The noise was such that it kept her neighbour awake at night. Not only that, but additional complaints came from the local postman and a woman taking her child to school. At that point, it must be agreed that if Mrs Cartwright's private life
can penetrate party walls, and even be heard out on the street, it's no longer private.
Anyhow, neither of them look too contrite. Or appealing, for that matter…hohoho!
