An English court declared that the owners of a cafe were allowed to keep cooking bacon, despite the complaints of the neighbor, who made a point to highlight his Muslim religion.
A CAFE owner who was told to remove an extractor fan because the smell of frying bacon offended Muslims was celebrating last night after a six-month legal battle.
Beverley Akciecek and her Turkish Muslim husband Cetin won on appeal to keep the fan.
Taxpayers will have to foot the legal bill after a council cooked up a fuss following complaints by neighbour Graham Webb-Lee.
He said Muslim friends refused to visit him because “they can’t stand the smell of the bacon”.
He claimed the “foul odour” was making them feel “physically sick” but was unable to produce any such friends to back him up.

About 18 months ago Lib-Dem-run Stockport Council wrote to the Akcieceks after Mr Webb-Lee complained. Environmental services officers visited the cafe, but ruled there was no nuisance. Mr Webb-Lee continued to complain. The couple were eventually caught out because they had not applied for planning permission to install the new fan. When they applied retrospectively they were turned down by Stockport Area Committee on October 14.They launched the appeal, taking their fight to the Government-run Planning Inspectorate.It finally quashed the order. Beverley said: “It would have cost us a couple of grand to move the fan, which we just didn’t have.
This is a victory for common-sense business law in England. Forcing a cafe to close for producing smells, as most cafes tend to, would have set a strange and unfair precedent for small-business owners. Mr. Web-Lee continues to complain, but without any other legal avenue for his frustration to manifest, he’ll be forced to cope.

Tough I like it
F**k muslimes
Bacon is American
Good
Learn the American way OF life and standards, first be kind to UR neighbors.
Thank goodness this was in England where the loser must pay the legal fees of the winner. In America the small business owner would have been more likely to cave to the neighbor’s demands since the cost of defending themselves legally would have been astronomically prohibitive.
Did you ever see how the Muslims eat and what they eat?? They eat with their hands instead of a knife and fork and actually love lamb and sometimes kill them it
themselves. I know because I’ve been there. If they don’t like what they eat, they need to go back to whatever barbaric country they came from.
Well Americans don’t complain about your personal foul smell, and let me tell you you child molester, woman beater and oppressor crawl back to your intolerant as backwards middle eastern rat hole and stay there, but come to our country and try to impose your stupid beliefs.
Why do they get offended by their own aroma. Filthy and smelly people shouldn’t be so critical of others.
