I know someone who tells their kids the chime is to tell people that they've sold out of ice-creams!

If an ice cream van sounds its chimes on your road after \i think 7.30 pm look straight at him and at your watch . he commits an offence and can lose his licence for it. He will know what you are thinking!!!!!!!!

Up to now we've been lucky, no Ice Cream vans mucking up the evenings. I did buy a lolly and a 99 with a flak in the lakes yesterday.

accymel · 29-03-2005, 18:02

Definately its designed to stop sleeping children awakening wanting ice cream

accymel · 29-03-2005, 18:16

ahhhhh ponders that could apply to any time of the day then for younger ones LOL

Our Ice Cream van turns up just before lunch.

Our kids always miss out as they don't get anything until lunch has been eaten... all of it!!!

Noticing an Ice Cream thread I thought I would let you know I recently got an email from an old friend of mine who hit on an idea a few years back, he was made redundent by a large Aircraft firm not far from Preston and thought that he would never work again etc, this was the days before Ebay and he found in Exchange and Mart an old Bicycle Ice Cream cart, he paid 50 quid for it and spent about the same doing it up and then he went and bought some of the square ice ceam and cones, dressed himself up as an Italian with mustache and white coat etc and set off around Accy center to see if he could make money, he did and with the help of a friend bought a bedford van and drove to Blackpool where he cycled up and down the prom. Long story made short the email I just got was that he is retiring at the grand old age of 45 and has bought a place in Spain for cash. There is money in Ice Cream.
