"SHAKEAWAY - THE MOVIE"
...Conceived in 1993...Born in 1999...
...The ShakeAway TimeLine...
| 27th July 1993 |
Rob & Peter (who? Click here for more info) create and open Legend Café Bar (all on that one day). Amongst other things, they make an astonishing seven MilkShake flavours. |
| 18th August 1993 |
Peter brings to the café a packet of Rolos, and suggests trying to make a MilkShake with them. "Don't be so stupid", says Rob, "that's a silly idea", thinking it was a total brainwave and wishing he'd thought of it first. Rob makes voodoo doll of Peter to deal with envy. |
| 19th August 1993 |
Rob & Peter in hospital from trying too many MilkShake flavours too quickly. |
| 20th August 1993 |
Rob & Peter continue to run Legend Café and dream of blending everything that doesn't move, or which can be killed first. |
| 4th May 1996 |
Begin planning the first MilkShake TakeAway. Decide to combine the words "MilkShake" and "TakeAway" for the new name, and "MilkTake" is born. Name later amended. |
| 4th September 1998 |
Rob & Peter go away for a month to meditate. Wake up in Californian bar, the voices having told them to sell Legend Café Bar and dedicate their lives to keeping cows in employment. |
| 9th October 1998 |
Premises found in Post Office Road, Bournemouth. Lick of paint required. |
| 11th March 1999 |
 ShakeAway
the First opens! First-ever Customer wears white blouse and
buys packet of Polos. Looks pleased with purchase. Joyous plans to celebrate with Champagne
that evening! Peter falls down stairs, cuts ear in two and spends
night in Bournemouth Hospital having it glued back together. |
| 12th March 1999 |
ShakeAway serves One Millionth MilkShake. Cows complain they are getting sore. |
| 30th April 1999 |
Prune MilkShake removed from the list of flavours. It's Customers just weren't regular enough. |
| 2nd June 1999 |
Stopped selling Sushi. Sales slowed down and the smell of rotting fish was starting to become offensive. |
| 27th September 1999 |
Scandal caused at the Labour Party Conference in Bournemouth as the range of ShakeAway Labour MilkShakes are released, including the "Tony Jammie Dodger Blair", the "Robin Ginger Nuts Cook" and the "Frank Banana Viagra Dobson". National Radio & Newspapers clamour to ShakeAway. |
| 6th October 1999 |
 This
year's Bournemouth University Freshers arrive in town. ShakeAway's
there to inform them that by Christmas they'll be much fatter but
their calcium levels will be soaring. |
| 18th November 1999 |
Tragedy strikes and Rob & Peter go into mourning. Eccles Cake MilkShake is one of our all-time favourites, but you don't want it. That's very clear. Fed up with chucking them out, we eat 207 between us and take the flavour off the board. You silly, silly people. Now you will never know it's beauty and you'll NEVER be complete. |
| 30th November 1999 |
|
| 1st December 1999 |
The first ShakeAway Christmas deserves the BIGGEST tree in any shop, with a magical Cow Fairy perched on the top. |

| 21st February 2000 |
Teresa Inglis wins the FM107.6 the NRG competition. She suggests Butterscotch, Banana and Crumbled Flake as a MilkShake idea, and tasting is done live on the radio. "Teresa" becomes our first "Named Flavour" on the ShakeAway Menu and the tastiest Teresa ever. |
| 11th March 2000 |
|
| 13th May 2000 |
First meeting to negotiate and plan for the second ShakeAway shop begin. You'll just have to join the free ShakeAway Fan Club to be the first to hear what, where and when things may be happening in a town near you... |
| 17th July 2000 |
Get the keys for a shop in the BarGate Centre, Southampton! Work begins to create a ShakeAway for the unsuspecting public of Hampshire. |
| 15th August 2000 |
The
second ShakeAway opens! A whole new look and image. The first
MilkShake sold (Jelly Tots actually, for you trivia fans) brings a
smile to the lips of Southampton. ShakeAway has arrived. Let us
embrace you. Group hug, everyone, group hug. |
| 16th March 2001 |
"Pants To Poverty" Comic Relief this year includes Fastest MilkShake Drinker Competition in Southampton. Thousands raised in BarGate Centre and many people leave with tummy aches and MilkShake-stained anoraks.
|
| 5th May 2001 |
Eccles Cake MilkShake returns to the flavours board because Rob & Peter like it so much and they are in charge. More flavours continue to be added after long stomach-churning tasting session which included a messy experiment with Marmite. |
| 7th July 2001 |
The
first-ever public appearance of ShakeAway's very own super-hero...CupMan!
Bournemouth jaws drop as our MilkShake hunk strutted through the
Square. Women agree that compared to CupMan, Brad Pitt looks plain. |
| 3rd July 2002 |
It
took us a while, but at last we opened ShakeAway III in Brighton!
Great welcome in this fab city and within 8 minutes of opening the
first ShakeAway Cup is taken down the road. We are proud and have a
big lump in our throats (hmm, must blend those MilkShakes a bit
more...) |
| 25th December 2002 |
ShakeAway's Matriarch Old Cow, Madam Iris, broadcasts her first-ever Christmas Speech at 3pm via e-mail. |
| 11th January 2003 |

Bath
time for ShakeAway as ShakeAway the Fourth opens! The people of Bath
are welcomed into the loving arms of the ShakeAway Shakettes. |
| 5th October 2003 |
Eccles Cake MilkShake removed again from The ShakeAway Menu. Honestly, you silly people, don't you know what's good for you? Peter and Rob in rehab. |
| 22nd December 2003 |
Launch of ShakeAway's first Computer Game. Aim is to collect ShakeAway Cups on a Space Hopper. Anyone who is old enough to remember Space Hoppers from the first time around will probably not be quick enough to complete the game. |
| 27th May 2004 |
All is revealed... following the "B" tradition (B-Bournemouth, B-BarGate, B-Brighton, B-Bath), ShakeAway Number Five will open in B-Berkshire! Union Street, Reading will greet the next ShakeAway in July 2004. Yippee! |
| 5th July 2004 |
ShakeAway the 5th has its first day in Reading with much frenzy and excitement! With ShakeAway's fame spreading there is a local pre-opening excitement that results in the best-ever launch of a ShakeAway Birth. Exhausted, Shakettes go to pub to celebrate. Mobile rings - Solicitor is discussing the next shop. Owners Rob and Peter faint. |
| 13th August 2004 |
Moving up the alphabet from "B" to a "C"... announced that ShakeAway The Sixth will open in Croydon in September! Interviews for Cows begin (no, we don't mean the staff). Also the Athens Olympics start today and the Olympic Committee adopt the ShakeAway Cup as their official symbol (example photo on the Fashion Page) |
| 31st August 2004 |
Organic Soya MilkShakes introduced. Found a special herd of Soya Cows practicing yoga in a remote field near the M3. They agree to donate their Soya "Milk" and refer us to a breed of Eskimo Cows who provide Soya Ice "Cream". So Dairy-Free MilkShakes become available (until you choose to blend a Mars Bar into it, but then that would sort of defeat the object). |
| 19th September 2004 |
"Now
We Are Six". "The Sixth Sense". "Let's Talk
About Six". ShakeAway Six opens in Croydon! First floor
of the WhitGift Centre creaks as crowds with London accents lose
their ShakeAway Virginity.
|
| 24th October 2004 |
With the paint still drying in Croydon, ShakeAway 7th is announced to the Exclusive ShakeAway Fan Club. Kingston-Upon-Thames will open in November. Town chosen after much research and demographic studies but mainly because it sounds posh. |
| 27th November 2004 |
Kingston (-Upon-Thames, not Jamaica) opens with a Big Bang! ShakeAway the 7th... Lucky Seven! Click for pics. Hmmm, wonder what'll be happening in 2005? 2004 was certainly a busy year with Reading, Croydon and Kingston opening over five months, so we could do with a bit of a lie down. |
| July 24th 2005 |
Excitement
as Big Brother housemates Kemal, Saskia and Vanessa discuss
ShakeAway live on Channel Four ("please do not swear"),
deciding Oreo is best. Then they get evicted.

| 10th January 2006 |
ShakeAway Reading and the Reading Fez Nightclub start a limited run of "ShakeAway Bar" Tuesday Nights. After several pints, a Mint Humbug and Vodka MilkShake at 1am is just what the doctor ordered. Just hope it wasn't YOUR doctor that ordered it in that nightclub on a Tuesday night. |
| 24th May 2006 |
World Press release to announce ShakeAway Number Eight will open in Bristol. Some people scream with delight. Some people cry because it's not in their town. Housing market boosted as people move to Bristol. |
| 1st July 2006 |
ShakeAway number eight opens in Brizzle (as the locals, all of whom are very sexy, say). Changing name to Sh8Away considered silly. But clever. |
| 6th August 2006 |
With the paint not even dry in Bristol, a MySpace site dedicated to ShakeAway leaks that ShakeAway 9 will be in OXFORD. ShakeAway owners forced out of hotel in Beverley Hills, LA, to face paparazzi and make public statement to confirm this is true. |
| 30th August 2006 |
The
University of MilkShakes opens in Oxford.
Ancient stables with beams and wooden columns converted to ShakeAway
Nine. Despite three hundred years passing, smell of wet straw and
damp horses lingers. Good squirt of Oust solves problem.
|
| 21st January 2007 |
The
saddest of all days. Ben, you will be missed and loved forever. You were more popular and wonderful than you knew. Dime Bar MilkShakes will always be yours. We Love you. x x |
| 28th April 2007 |
ShakeAway
Southampton broke a World Record! They made over 1,000 MilkShakes in one day, with the 1,000th going to Tony. Not sure if the queue was 1000 people long or if Tony arrived later in the day.

| 7th October 2007 |
ShakeAway
Number Ten: The first ever Franchised Shop opens in Winchester
with record-breaking crowds. Franchisee Laura panics and momentarily
wishes she had taken a carpet-cleaning franchise instead. Click here for Franchise Info if you're clever and have got some dosh. |
| 18th October 2007 | World Premiere of ShakeAway The Movie (Part One) generates red carpet treatment for Film Maker and Friend of ShakeAway.... Allan (woo hoo!). Click to view! |
| Today | You look at this page... you're part of the ShakeAway history, and we LOVE YOU! |

Fitness
First at Bournemouth's Queen's Park Gym ask ShakeAway to do the blendy
stuff for their first-ever "Gym Entertainment Night".
Lots of sweaty, panting people enjoy the rewards of their efforts
in the shape of ShakeAway.
ShakeAway's
first birthday! Thank you to EVERYONE who has been a part of the
first year...especially the COWS.
