Rather bizarrely, I popped up third on this poor chap or chapess' search for when Ramadan actually ends. Maybe he or she shouldn't have included 'Google' in his or her search words?
Anyroad, having scratted round the internet it appears that Ramadan ends this evening in England, and Eid is on Saturday 13th October, it's got something to do with the first sighting of the new crescent moon, aka hilal - it took me twenty bloody minutes to find all this, they really do live in The Dark Ages. So in case they come back, I hope to have been of assistance. The debate is still raging over in the USA.
This post ends with the obligatory "... A DING DONG!"
------------------------------
Update - The Lad's local state primary is shut tomorrow, Friday 12th for "Eid al-Fitr". Wot? A day early? Is this crass laziness on part of the teachers, political correctness gone mad, or some sort of Islamist takeover of the UK? Endupdate.
