Doug, as the thread starter I appreciate your kind words. I really enjoyed putting the posts together.

Don't remember the icecream you mention but I lived on the other side of town.

I do remember Birtwell's selling ice cream from a cart on Queens Road, blowing a whistle to attract attention and asking if you wanted blood (aka raspberry sauce).

Happy days!
