Opportunist slackers remember, when the sun is in the sky at work you don’t have to try
With one day left until Ramadan workshy villagers are preparing to embrace the idea of fasting for a month during daylight hours in the belief it will give them a brilliant excuse for being rubbish at work.
“I’m not a Muslim,” healthcare assistant Daphne Newton said. “But can you imagine not eating or drinking for up to nineteen hours a day? I reckon I’d be quite cranky and non-productive so I thought I’d slack off for the next thirty days. Then if the boss has a go I’ll say it’s Ramadan and all cultural and she’ll leave me alone.”
Local Iman, Qaasim Mohammed, told us that there is far more to Ramadan than not eating: “It is a time to exercise self-discipline during which we focus attention on God, and put into practice selflessness and put forward more prayer than is customary. It is not a time to build a little nest in the stationary cupboard and when you’re caught having a snooze in it claim you’re being religious.”
