A couple has responded to a note that they received from their neighbours asking them to stop committing “indecent exposure” in their own home.

When married couple Jay and Karin Stone, who live in Newcastle upon Tyne, received a handwritten note through their door a few days ago, they were caught off guard to say the least.

In the strongly worded note signed from their neighbours, it requested that Jay and Karin refrain from getting dressed and undressed with their blinds open.

“We are sick of seeing big bums, big boobs and little willy,” the anonymous letter brusquely stated.

It then continued with a word of warning, saying: “We will report you both for indecent exposure.”

Jay, a producer and DJ, made light of the situation on Instagram by sharing a photo of the note and jokingly writing: “Our neighbours think very highly of us.”

Jay and Karin have since responded to their neighbours’ impertinent message with a request of their own.

“Stop looking through our windows you peeping Tom,” they retorted, signing off their letter with “your neighbours” in an identical fashion to the original note.

Karin and Jay couldn’t comprehend why their neighbours felt the need to not only deliver the note but also insult their physical appearances.

“I don’t understand it, it’s not like we’ve been parading around naked - just living [a] normal life,” Karin told Chronicle Live.

“It does feel really creepy - I feel like somebody has been peeping.

“I’m considering putting a note over both my windows saying ‘stop looking!’.

“Really it’s just a bit excessive - if they’d just knocked on my door and said there was an issue with privacy, that would have been fine.”

After a photo of the note that Karin shared on a Facebook group went viral, the couple has been inundated with suggestions of other ways that they can respond to the note.

“Some people were saying we should start doing a choreographed naked dance,” she stated.

According to the Sexual Offences Act 2003, a person will have committed an offence of indecent exposure if they intentionally expose their genitals and if they intend that a person will see them and feel alarmed or distressed as a result.
