Quick one....are hotels going to be serving alcohol tonight or not because of Eid tomorrow?

Eid is on Monday. Tomorrow is Arafat Day.

That's what I thought. I don't understand, though... our local Spinneys have a sign saying they are closed tomorrow [Arafat Day] and open as usual on Monday [Eid]. Surely that can't be right

Madam Medusa

no, it's dry as far as i know tonight...booze back on tomorrow night though...

Arafat is a holy day; Eid is the knees up after the religious stuff.

What about Monday night (quiz night) at Aussie Legends..do you know if Monday night is a dry night?

MacScot

Autonomy said on 1st December "...it's only moon / religion based holidays that are dry the night before... so next week there will be a dry night the night before the first eid holiday (i think)"

Therefore it should be dry tonight (Saturday 6th) according to MM and Autonomy...but wet for Monday according to Autonomy and Squirty Cream.

In answer to the PM from MH...looks like a normal Quiz Night on Monday night then...since booze will be available !

The annual Christmas Tree lighting ceremony at Irish Village with mince pies and mulberry wine has been postponed from tonight until Monday night.

Knees up? So do the locals go down the local and whack out a few Chaz and Dave classics on the piano or something?
