Ramadan Kareem

Fun fact: Ramadan doesn't mean you get to find someone called Dan and ram them hard.

To be honest I don't know much about different religious festivals so for my lack of knowledge I'm not going to eat or drink or have sex while it is daytime for a whole month and contemplate my shortcomings as punishment.

It should be noted that these timings only hold for the capital – because of the varying times of sunrise and sunset across the rest of the UK, there are variations depending on location.
Fortunately, the charity Muslim Hands has provided the following quick guide to adjust the fast timetable to apply to where you are:

UK variations relative to London (Time Fast Begins, Time Fast Ends)
  • Birmingham: (8 minutes later, 6 minutes later)
  • Bradford: (9 minutes later, 8 minutes later)
  • Cardiff: (13 minutes later, 12 minutes later)
  • Glasgow: (22 minutes later, 40 minutes later)
  • Leeds: (7 minutes later, 4 minutes later)
  • Liverpool: (12 minutes later, 9 minutes later)
  • Manchester: (10 minutes later, 7 minutes later)
  • Middlesbrough: (8 minutes later, 14 minutes later)
 

i did Ramadan for 24 hours with muslim mates, even went to the local mosque (which was just an emptied-out ground floor flat) and bowed down with the rest of 'em, only my mind was blank. Maybe theirs was too, who knows?

I didn't really learn anything from it, maybe an outsider has to do it for the whole month to get a proper feel.
