One couple Adrian and Penny Moorhouse were sent a fine for £600 to pay within 14 days, or face double the penalty. Adrian was seething with anger, “Noise pollution at a 12 year olds birthday party. The party ran between 5 and 9pm on a Saturday evening, and the last 2 hours I had eight 11 to 12 year olds watching Antman and the Wasp in front of the telly. We don’t even have surround sound speakers! So I find the attached letter stating ‘unreasonable pounding music keeping everybody awake until ungodly hours’ one big unfunny joke!” 

Holly and Wally Willis were accused of hosting a naked water fight in their back garden. “It’s ridiculous, we would never ever do anything so reckless. I’m 68 and the wife is 65, we’re not in Ibiza and we’re not nudists. Yet we get a fine for indecent exposure with a threat saying if it’s not paid, they’ll see us in court. It even stated after countless complaints from nearby upstairs windows, but didn’t say who. Every time you call and ask to speak to Inspector Blakey, sorry I mean Clompham, he is apparently busy with urgent matters.”
