Country-Western Not Big With Brits

Especially not over and over:
A Country and Western fan who plagued neighbours by playing Dolly Parton songs around the clock has been evicted from her home.

Diane Duffin, 36, was ordered to leave her house in Heights Drive, Leeds, by police on Monday.

She was found to have repeatedly and persistently ignored warnings from the council to stop playing loud music.

The mother of four told the BBC that it was her children who were playing the music to "let off steam".

...Last October she was handed an anti-social behaviour injunction (Asbi) along with an eviction notice, suspended for 12 months, which meant she could lose her home if she failed to comply with the conditions of her tenancy.

The court heard that her neighbour had moved out and their house and it had stood empty ever since.

Neighbours told the earlier hearing she had repeatedly played Dolly Parton's Nine to Five track.

One neighbour had complained that on one day alone the Tammy Wynette track D.I.V.O.R.C.E was played 20 times from Miss Duffin's home.
