Did you know Eat It Now towers flew over the Irish Sea and landed in the Isle of Man recently? Our headquarters have been here for a while now, and we love it! So we embrace the culture wholeheartedly and the biggest day of the year – Tynwald Day is tomorrow and we’re pretty excited! So here’s a little bit of background about the national holiday and hopefully by the end of the post you’ll be waving your Manx flags in the air…
Tynwald Day is the Isle of Man’s national holiday (the equivalent of England’s St George’s Day) and is celebrated every year on the 5th of July. On this day, members of Tynwald – the Manx parliament – meet on Tynwald Hill, which was built by the Vikings and is said to contain soil from each of the Island’s 17 parishes, and declare all of the laws passed in the past year and hear any petitions from Manx citizens.
The parliament is of Norse (Viking) origin and has existed for 1000 years on the Island, making it the world’s oldest parliament. So the day is a bit of an unbroken tradition and is steeped in history!
For most workers, the day is a bank holiday, so we’re free to go and celebrate the festival! A lot of residents go to the hill to gather around and hear the laws being passed, and witness a real-life parliament sitting. The whole day is one big celebration, starting with parades from local school children and continuing with a fairground, music and parades from select regiments from either the Navy, Army or RAF – amongst lots of other happenings!
We realise that the whole idea of sitting around a hill may sound a little odd, but for the truly Manx members of Eat It Now, it’s one of the best days of the year, and a day where you can really celebrate the Island’s heritage – yayyy!
We’re really getting into the spirit of things here at Eat It Now towers and even if you’re not a resident of the Isle of Man, we hope you’ll join us in celebrating – why not order in a takeaway through us and crack open a beer and pretend you’re an honorary Manx citizen?! Quite a few of us will be doing just that, that’s for sure…
If you’ve never been either to the Isle of Man or indeed the ceremony itself, then we’ve added on some pictures here so you can get an idea..
Tynwald Hill here, on a non-ceremonial day. (Some naughty Eat It Now staff have climbed to the top to get pictures on this, tut tut!)
And here it is on Tynwald Day, with members of the public gathered to the left and right of the picture to watch proceedings.

Eat It Now want you to show us the contents of your drawers. Yep, you heard us right, get them out!
Now then, we’re not being weird, we’d just like you to open your kitchen drawer and clear out all of those old takeaway menus. With Eat It Now’s superb ordering system, you don’t need them anymore so why not send them in to us and let us take them off your hands?!
And the bargain? Well for every 10 menus you send in you’ll get a 10% discount off your next Eat It Now takeaway order. So if you send us 50 menus, thats 10% off your next 5 orders.
We know, we’re too good, helping you de-clutter and giving you a discount to boot, just call us your fairy godmother!
If you’re interested in taking part, email: leigh.cadwallader@eatitnow.co.uk and we’ll send you a freepost label so you can send us all of those messy menus!
As you may or may not know, Wimbledon is now in full flow and in honour of the incredibly British pastime we’ve decided to treat you all to some awful British humour in the form of some very witty tennis jokes …

Which sport is the noisiest?
Tennis, because it’s always making a racket
What do you call a tennis player who has the head of a hen and the body of a man?
Boris Pecker (Becker)
Why should you never date a tennis player?

“What do you mean the bulb was out? It wasn’t out, it was in!”
Why was the waiter a good tennis player?

Offspring – does 19th of June ring a bell? Yes, it’s this Sunday and it’s Fathers Day! Oooooopsss we can hear some of you thinking, but don’t worry, we won’t tell…

What are your plans this summer? Chances are, apart from the odd holiday, not much – are we right? We’ve just started this great scheme called Money For Menus where we’ll pay you for every menu you send us in. Mmm, thats right, quick easy money!
How it works is, after you sign up with us, we’ll allocate you a postcode area and all you have to do is collect all the menus from the takeaways and restaurants in that area and then we’ll pay you for each valid one we get from you, there’s even some lovely little bonuses for collecting large numbers.
Easy peasy yeah? Drop our recruitment team an email at: recruitment@eatitnow.co.uk with your name, contact number and your post code and one of the gang will be in touch shortly to hopefully sign you up!
PS – pass this on to your friends to help them earn a bit of extra money as well – you never know, together you could all have enough for a brilliant night out after just a few days work – superb!
