I'm having a double 99 with chocolate sauce. DH is having a cider lolly.
What do you want?

I'm having a bottle strawberry cresta fizzy pop too. Then going down the park to hang upside down on the climbing frame.

Lemonade lolly please but can you get them to take it out the wrapper and put a squooze of Mr Whippy on top?
Thanking you

Your next holiday needs to be to Redcar. Then you need a lemontop - half mr whippy ice-cream, then a swirl of lemon sorbet on top.

In the rest of the country, I'll have a 99 please (what's all this 99 with flake people keep saying? A 99 has a flake, surely?)

I just wish the hygiene standards were better at ice cream vans. I find it quite off-putting that most handle the cash from all the kids playing in the sewage sea water then go straight for the cone with no hand washing, no gloves, tongs or any sign that they've thought about hygiene at all.

I would love a whippy ice cream with raspberry sauce and a flake but I usually go for something in a wrapper for reasons outlined above.

@NooNakedJacuzziness what is a Haunted House?

They were creamy ice lollies with pictures of skeletons, Dracula and Frankenstein on - 1970s/80s
