Decided to embrace our great summer today and was sitting in the garden when the chimes of an ice cream van decended upon me.

Within two seconds my son decended upon me demanding money so I walked to the van and bought two tasteless ice cream cornets with flakes for £3.80.

What really p*ssed me off was that this large company "showt1me" bought all the small decent one man bands out and chased any others away so were stuck with this sh1te!!.

So my question to you all is are you lucky enough to still have a one man van that comes down your road !! :)

The van that comes down the road where I live, is normally collecting scrap!
Ice Cream Van turned up once in April, have not seen or heard of him since!
 
When I was young and living in Scotland, our local chip shop /ice cream shop, made their own ice cream. The owner also had an ice cream van and would be round the town at least once a day. I used to love the ice cream that shop sold. Twas certainly better than that rubbish you get from ice cream vans these days.

Our ice cream man in Killmarnock was if memory serves me; Wullie Bechelli, a fine Scotish/Italian name and great 99s, i left Scotland when i was 13yrs old, the next time i saw him was about 12yrs later while on holiday, i was going through my hippy stage had a beard, long hair and a German girlfriend on my arm and this guy still recognised me. :rolleyes:
 
I've bought my kids up telling them that when the ice cream van comes round, the music playing means they've sold out :LOL:
 
I can remember the walls ice cream man with his little cart every sunday afternoon and we used to get a neopoliton block and a packet of wafers

Our local Ice Cream chap was Albert Antonelli. Strange how many Italians settled in Scotland and made great ice cream. ;) ;) ;) ;)
 
EU regulations determine the proportion of cream permitted within ice-cream. That's why it's padded out with a load of extra sugars, preservatives and other chemicals in an attempt to hide the fact that it is sh1te food.

I've not seen an independent small company nor sole trader van for a long long time.

Something close.

The sketch opens with the sound of a police siren on a police car passing the window at speed.

Eric utters the immortal words ''he's not going to sell much ice cream going at that speed, is he?''

Classic! :LOL:

Was that because you had a eye in the middle of your forehead? :LOL:
 
Still get the one ice cream van round our way but the ice cream is that solid cr*p that they cut off with a knife - not like Mr Whippy who sold the best stuff. As a kid we used to get Mr Whippy, Vince's and Andrew's. Andrew was an old bloke who would purposely leave out the bubble gum to save money. His lemon ice was nice though. He was so tight that he would stop anywhere for a sale even holding up the traffic, so as kids we used to flag him down, wait until he got out of his seat and then run off, to a tirade of verbal abuse. Great fun! :LOL:
