Holy month of Ramadan begins at sunset

At sunset today, the holy month of Ramadan begins. I have done the fast in the past... but at this time of year do not envy the devout.
For info here is a link...

I had an email from a customer who works in Saudi today telling me that as from tomorrow, she is not allowed to chew in front of anyone, and must go and lock herself in the small kitchen in her work if she wants to eat.

Something I noticed last year is that there were 3 young (late teens early 20's)lads with the drummer, not every night but quite often. There were a series of breakins around the same nights, but about one or two hours later, including our turkish nieghbours and the turkish/german couples place across the park also an attempted break in to the apartment below us. It made me wonder if these guys are using the drummer as a front to see what doors/windows are left open then coming back later rob the places.
Will be interesting to see if there is a rise in breakins during Ramazan.
