Three strikes and you’re out, well out of the sack for a while anyway.

Caroline Cartwright, a 48 year old Brit has been arrested for breaching an Anti-Social Behaviour order which banned her from ‘making excessive noise’ during sex anywhere in Britain.

Cartwright was arrested three times for openly flouting the ban after complaints from neighbours about the shouting, moaning, groaning and headboard banging coming from their home during sex.

During an earlier hearing, neighbours including one who was partially deaf said they had not enjoyed a decent night’s sleep for two years because of the Cartwright's sexual encounters.

After the complaints, the local council's environmental health department placed recording equipment in the flat next door to the couple's house in Tyne and Wear. In the subsequent 23 recordings that were made - through a soundproofed wall - and played to Sunderland magistrates, the sound of slapping and screaming was clearly audible.

Cartwright, whose husband sat in the public gallery, elected to be tried by jury. And to think the jurors are going to get paid for this one.

Good gig if you can get it.
