The Millennium ShakeAway opened in 2000!

There's great shopping in Southampton...
and ShakeAway is in the BarGate Centre - without doubt the funkiest shopping mall in the city!

This is also the biggest ShakeAway Shop...
you could almost play football in it.

Oh! You can! We've got Table Football in the window!!

Emma Shakette >>>

Meet Emma....
Southampton Boss and also proud Mum of Ella!

While not giving birth,
Emma is fluent in Turkish and Flemish,
has got national awards for her polka dancing
and can crochet a bobble hat in less than an hour.

Emma is also a rapper and was runner-up in the 2004 Amateur Rap-Off in New York. She writes all her own material and bases most of her rap on life's difficulties such as "What to buy a Dad for Christmas",
"Is it very bad to have microwave meals every weekday"
and "I know I should do washing at 30 degrees but change is hard".
Emotional stuff. 

And she has a famous brother. Ask her about him, too!

<<< A-J Shakette

Keeping ShakeAway Southampton running like a smooth silk blouse is A-J (which stands for Marie-Christine).

Once UK-Champion of Bubble Gum Blowing (where she blew a bubble measuring over two metres in diameter), she retired from that sport in defiance when the International Olympic Committee failed to recognise it as a serious sport.

She then took up singing and got to the semi-final of Stars In Their Eyes doing her amazing portrayal of Shirley Bassey. A terrible allergy to feather boas brought that to an end.

A-J now spends her spare time making up rude words by putting numbers in a calculator and turning the screen around the other way so the upside-down numbers make letters. She is planning to write a book about this amazing and entertaining hobby, and then create it into a TV game show, a board game and a range of wrapping paper.
