Lovely.........I am not a fan of ice cream, but that was gold medal stuff.
Does anyone remember Stanton's pop wagon? Sarsaparilla out of a brown jug like bottle....the kind they use in the US for moonshine.....Dandelion and Burdock....supposed to have tonic properties...we just drank it because it was good.

Yes, when I was a lad after I left school "St Oswalds" and did my GEC's at Accy Collage, I work during the six week holidays at Stanton.s based in Oswaldtwistle. Great pop. The following year I did six weeks at the NORI brick works at Altham.
