Paidtoplease

Yes might gain back some lost days...work has banned smoking at work

MataHari

you mean you get to catch up on stuff you didn't have time for cause you had to smoke...

Paidtoplease

No lots days the anti smoking say I loose every time I put a fag in my mouth...

I'm planning to observe the fast at least to begin with, so that's one difference.

Otherwise it might mean I'm stuck for things to do with my brother when he's here for the weekend...

Madam Medusa

not much...apart from no brunches, boo hoo...

Not a lot.

I am self-employed & much of my business is in the UK & they won't be taking it any easier.

Apart from no brunches & not being able to smoke in the car, there will be little effect.

Paidtoplease

Brunch at mine...bring your own Champagne ...

MataHari

oh right...had to read that a couple of times before I got it...

Madam Medusa

sounds like a deal to me...s'pose i need to bring my own guava juice too...!!

A much shorter working day...9am to 3pm...and less traffic congestion so long as you avoid the rush home for Iftar...also, no family lunches at Ikea.

Inselaffen

means I will have the office tea boy at my personal beck and call its not as if the others in the office will be keeping him busy

Madam Medusa

ohhh...what you got in mind for him...?!!!

MM, xx

Inselaffen

just a role fetching me a constant flow of turkish coffee and freshly chilled water!
would have been so much nicer if we had taken a nice young philippino tea girl

You feel comfortable causing offence to your Muslim work mates, do you? I for one will be respecting the sensitivities of mine.
