Couple warned for noisy sex were louder than a lawnmower, neighbours say
A COUPLE warned for noisy sex were louder than a lawnmower, it was claimed yesterday.
Lydia Barker and Billy Brown sparked complaints from neighbours but denied their romps were out of the ordinary.
However, one person living nearby said: “It is terribly loud.
“I was mowing my lawn at about 12.30pm one Sunday and I could still hear them.
“I had to go and get my earphones.”
We revealed yesterday that unemployed Lydia, 31, and fairground engineer Billy, 40, were warned in an official letter to “reduce the noise when engaging in sexual relations”.

Mum-of-one Lydia, of Castle Cary, Somerset, admitted they were at it “morning, noon and night” but said: “It’s not as if I’m a screamer.”
She and Billy were furious at the complainer going straight to the housing association rather than speaking to them.
The neighbour, who asked not to be named, told yesterday how she is recently divorced — and a bit envious.
She said: “I’m on my own, and I’m just a bit jealous.
“It’s not just me that hears it, but lots of neighbours.
“it’s hilarious really.”
Social housing provider Stonewater, which told the couple it will “monitor” the matter, admitted its letter was over the top.
