Dear resident of East Dulwich/North Cross R,


As you may be aware the month of Ramadan has started on Sunday 29th June 14, we have now completed a week of fasting with roughly 3 weeks to go!


The Friday Jummah (prayer) would be much more busy than usual and the night time prayers of Ramadan (11pm - 12:30am) has started last week, the Islamic community would like to raise awareness to the residents incase many of you may be wondering what is going on.


We would also like to apologise in advanced if we have caused any issues or disturbance to the local residence. Also, please do not be alarmed by large groups which may enter or leave the mosque - as they simply just want to meet, greet, get on with prayers and go, we are trying are best from keeping children away from the upstairs section of the mosque during night time prayers incase they cause disturbance.


Eid prayers may fall on either 27th, 28th or 29th July 2014 from 7:30am to 12pm so please expect many people entering/leaving the mosque.


Finally I would like to thank a majority of people for their kind support and understanding.


Ramadan Kareem! :)


(Local resident who attends the Mosque)

Yes, it is very hard to fast, with the long days and short nights, just 6hours from Iftaar (breaking fast) to sehri (meal before fast) but inshallah we all can get through it!

Yeah nice post by MrDude, and I'm sure there's no need to apologise for anything.


I was wondering, do people ever kill two birds with one stone and treat ramadan as a way to lose a few kilos? Or is it more common to binge on fine food in the permitted window?

I used to feel so sorry for my old boss during ramadan, he really tailed off towards the end of the day, we knew not to bother him after a certain hour ;)


Incidentally I've found it interesting that even quite secular muslims i know, happy to have a drink or a bacon sarnie tend to observe ramadan quite assiduously.

Thank you everyone for your understanding and support, and yes its fine to say happy Ramadan, the actual term is Ramadan Mubarak or Ramadan Kareem and its appropriate as Muslims fast because they are happy to experience what the less fortunate go without.

      Christmas Cheese!

      By pikeyed · Posted

      Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!

      I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.

      William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
