trail master Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 A cafe in Stockport has been told to remove the extract fan because a local has complained that the smell of cooking bacon is offencive to muslims.The funny thing is ,it wasn't a muslim that brought the complaint, but some meddling do-gooder who's motives are unclear.This is just the kind of pc clap trap that causes friction between folk,and puts peoples livlihood at stake. Who gets upset about frying bacon anyhow,it just makes me hungry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RosyRat Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 It seems that the smell being offensive to muslims is just something that the complainant put in to try and get his complaint dealt with, rather than being the reason it was upheld. I think perhaps that his Muslim friends actually refuse to visit him because he is the kind of person who makes this type of ridiculous complaint and they'd rather be with somebody sane. The smell of bacon is just a good excuse not to go and see this idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidge00 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Is it really the smell of bacon that they are offended by or the horrible greasy smell which no-one really likes whether you're Muslim or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
