Happy Eid, to anyone who celebrates it smiley - smiley
I heard fireworks earlier, and the local news is reporting on the celebrations in Rusholme, in the Curry Mile.

I loved Eid (Eid-al-Fitr? I always get confused about which Eid is which) when I was young because my primary school was dominated by moslem pupils, and about 6 in a class of 30 would make it into school, so we just played. And coloured cards with Eid Mubarak on in Urdu and Gujarati, and patterns that I'd completely forgotten about until I checked out BBC religion's Eid email postcards earlier.

Ohhhhh... *that's* why there were loads of fireworks near me in Leeds last night... I wondered what was going on!
