Being very metropolitan and whatnotI've just been talking with some foriegn types. Turns out in Greece when it's your birthday, you take everyone out and buy them drinks, rather than the other way round (ie. the correct way) like we do here. Madness, eh?

I know companies where, if it's your birthday, you have to buy everyone cakes.Instead of them all chipping in to buy you.

Depending how many people you work with it could cost a fair bit.I'd be cheap and bake a dose of mini cakes.
