Vegan family issues furious 'last warning' to neighbours after 'rude' BBQ

was furious over the behaviour of their neighbours who they accused of making them "feel sick" because of the smell of meat wafting over from BBQs. In a letter, which has been widely shared on social media, the non-meat-eating family claimed the carnivores next door had ignored a polite request to stop having BBQs and to 'close a window' when they were cooking formerly alive animals.

Wayne and kids', the group said: "Hello neighbour, could you please shut your side window when cooking please. My family are vegan (we eat only plant-based foods) and the smell of the meat you cook makes us feel sick and upset. We would appreciate your understanding."

However, the meat-loving family apparently did not take the first request to stop seriously and shared it on social media, prompting the vegan neighbour to send a furious follow-up in an envelope marked "Last Warning."

The Mirror reports in the second letter, the author accuses their neighbour of taking 'the mickey' out of the family and being 'downright rude'.

The writer also alleged their neighbour went out of the way to cause upset. "I raised my concerns of the smell of meat making my family feel sick and upset and you go and have a BBQ on Saturday night inviting lots of people, and you knew this would affect me and my family."

It transpired, the family also saw that their letter had been shared online. "My friend Tina told me you took my letter to social media and it backfired on you which is 'just desserts'."

The letter then concluded with a final plea. "Please no more BBQs and please keep that window closed when cooking otherwise I'm going to report you and go to social media too."

The exchange between the vegan and non-vegan neighbours prompted a mixed response online when it was shared in the Reddit chat page.

One person said: "This is unbelievable, they want to tell you how to live in your own home.

But someone else wrote: "They are both in the wrong!! It's such a shame that this is our society now no commUNITY!! #1 If your asking someone to shut their window just shut your bloody own... #2 you can't tell another person how to live their lives or what to do, you make the changes for yourself. #3 if your neighbour has asked you something kindly that you don't agree with address it respectfully like an adult."
