Our Ice cream van comes just before tea time, I find this really annoying, fortunately my daughters a bit young to realise what it is, though I know she'll soon learn, seen a few large bee's this weekend and the birds are noisy again, I love it!

No he didn't start a chain but one of the reasons he was kicked off broadway was that woolies manager complained, don't know why and thats when he set his sights on Blackpool, he did about 5years before someone asked him for a permit they just presumed he had one. :)

I used to live in Coventry, when Adam was a lad. We had an ice cream van that only came round after 8.30 p.m. He did that because the ice creams he sold were more in the style of after dinner desserts; none of your cones with a dollop of raspberry sauce, this was big oyster-shell wafers with coffee ice cream topped with chocolate, fruit and nuts and a blob of double cream, that sort of thing. The kids were all tucked up in bed and didn't get a look in and he didn't sound any chimes, we just knew when to expect him. I'm not the greatest ice cream fan but his were to die for.

Here, a few years ago, we had someone who came on a Sunday at 4 p.m. and sold large tubs and blocks of ice cream from a refrigerated van. He didn't last long because once everybody had filled their freezers he had no more sales. We now have one lady who comes round, mostly at weekends around lunchtime, and sells the cornets and lollies etc. She's not too intrusive but you can get sick of hearing "Popeye the Sailorman" all over the neighbourhood, over and over again. Do they have to be so flippin' loud?
