Was reading that if you can not fast because of medical reasons you have to pay somthing like £280.
Medieval indulgences anyone? Oli.

IBTL and all that.
After this, I'm staying out of the thread this year but have a heroic time and don't forget to big yourselves up for moving a few columns on a spreadsheet or driving a taxi when you haven't had a bite to eat for a few hours.
It's tough out there

IIRC 2001. Fasting was between 8 and 4 
Early 1980s I should think; moves forward by about 11 days every year. Will be a difficult one this year as its a fair time between sunrise and sunset, but unlike the last couple of years my new company observes the rules so I have a month of knocking off at 2 and hopefully be sailing by 3.30. Will be a tad warm, but I'll cope.. Psychobert said:

As I understand it, only allowed to eat between 10:00 and 02:00. Following last food therefore, I guess unlikely to ever sleep before 03:00.
Why not eat earlier (than 2am) if it's going to make him late.Or I trust he'll be working through his lunch hour and / or working late?

I guess because, as you can't eat again until 22:00, it makes sense to leave it as late as possible. That's what I'd do anyway.Hackney said:

I don't doubt he will.Sounds like this bothers you and I can't see any reason why it should.

I do keep hearing these rumours etc but I'm not entirely sure who they refer too......

Only in the sense that he gets special treatment because of some fairy story.I'm from Nottingham, so can I come in late tomorrow as I have to rob from the rich and give to the poor first?
