Today is the start of Eid , what will it mean to those communities ? It's going to be very hard for everyone

[Peter Pedant]

divine intervention ?

sudduv makes you believe in god again

[Bobbisox1]

Nahhh PP, just keeps the OP on track rather than concentrating on some predictive text

[THECORBYLOON]

Think PP is getting God confused with the ED. Mind you, the ED might beg to differ...

[Peter Pedant]

in shaller is appropriate for a future ( if god wills)

el hamdu llilah is better ( praise Gaaaaawwwwd !)
ma- sh - aller - what god wills

maha on you tube ( hi dahhlings ! you good today !) is good for lebanese dialect

[david small]

Question. Are you affected? Answer. No, not in the least.
I’ve never heard of Eid, but I’m always willing to learn.

[Peter Pedant]

ED is god ?
or as Jim might write - hi jim - sabah al kheer ! - ED = god

[Bobbisox1]

PP can you please keep to the OP please

[ubasses]

In answer to Gromit, in answer to how they know the spread is due to people gathering in each others houses, Matt Hancock advised that it was due to track and trace. When tested positive, the names and addresses of all contacts have to be provided.

[Bobbisox1]

I'm quite curious how track and trace works ubasses,is it linked to your phone signal ( assuming you have one ? )

[ubasses]

Not yet Bobbi, although they are starting another trial in Northern Ireland, at the moment someone testing positive has to supply the names and addresses of all known contacts.

[Bazile]

The government 's last minute pronouncement , late at night was to specifically aimed at EFFECTIVELY stopping large gatherings, for this Muslim celebration

[Bazile]

Where did that rogue 'to" come from

[Peter Pedant]

yes miss - thank you miss

[allenlondon]

Thanks PP. The effect on my very limited Arabic (about 6 words) is profound, and affects me deeply.

God is great, innit.
