13 years young

As we sat in the office at the end of the day last Friday, the date suddenly dawned on us. It hadn’t hit us at the beginning of the day. Oh no. It was gone 5pm when the date suddenly had an impact on us. Apparently it didn’t matter that we had been looking at it and writing it down all day long. Nobody had twigged its meaning. The company owners hadn’t even picked up on it! That’s obviously a sign of all the What On Earth staff working their socks off all day long. That’s what we do all the time. Honestly!

What was so important about the date though?? Well.........it was our birthday. WAHOOOOO!!

Set off the fireworks in celebration!

That’s right, What On Earth has turned 13...unlucky for some! Can we get a round of applause please? [Insert clapping sound here]

When we realised, we pulled everyone together for some birthday fun.  We were all in the mood to party and that is what we did.  Even Action Man joined in with the celebrations!

Today, we baked some mini birthday cakes to enjoy.  Plus, it's National Cupcake Week so it was a double celebration!

We invite you to raise your glasses and make a toast to What On Earth.  Or, put some big birthday pants on and give us a little birthday dance!

Also, please salute the owners of What On Earth who are still at the helm of the company – Jeremy Jaffe and Rolf de Polla. They may have inherited a few more worry lines and even lost their hair over the past few years but I’m sure they’ve loved their time here really.  I spoke to them about it all last Friday. They seemed thrilled that it was the 13th anniversary – once they had finally clocked the date that is! They had a laugh about some of the good times and then Jeremy ended the conversation with the following:

“I can’t believe I’ve had to put up with you for all these years.”

He was joking of course… we hope!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHAT ON EARTH.

We will accept presents if you want to send them! Also, if you have any suggestions about how we should celebrate just let us know. We’d love to hear them.

Peace, love and lots of birthday pizza.

What On Earth.
