I'm from near Liverpool and we call it a lolly ice. I think its just a regional thing though

Ice pole/pop are the flavoured ice in sealed plastic tubes...

Ice lollies come on sticks...

Lolly ice... Does that even make sense?!?

Ice lolly is on a stick, ice pop in a plastic sleeve thingy (it pops out the top?).

Neither any good, no choc on them, see?

No! It's a pop ice when it comes in the plastic tube!

But I'd say ice lolly (very mixed family background!) and hokey pokey.

I'm from Lancashire and used to say ice lolly. Moved to Lpool several years ago and now say lolly ice, but will switch back to ice lolly when not here. So guess I'm bilingual Grin

I had to learn to say lolly ice when I lived in Liverpool. Was there for over ten years so it kind of stuck. I quite like it actually a funny little quirk. Not as bad as DH who calls an ice cream a poke and a lolly ice an ice pole!

If it's in a plastic tube it's called a tip top.
