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! :)

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.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
