to think that the ice-cream man is BANG out of order?

[RedCloud]

for coming down our road nite after nite playing his music at BEDTIME! His timing couldn't be more wrong.

your children go to bed at that time, doesn't mean others do.

Tell the dcs he is closing that's his closing time music :)

Is it one of those dodgy vans that sells vodka and cigs out the back? I only read about them on here though, they might not actually exist.

I was thinking similar actually. There is one comes down our road at 8.30 which I think is bloody late.

We have one that's started coming at 7.00!?! I can't believe they get any/much business at that time.

Mine do! Its just taken me 2 hours to resettle DD (11mo).

The ice-cream man outside my school used to sell cigs for 20p they do exist, he probably is one of those why else be out when it's not daytime

ours comes for the last time after 7

If they are asking for ice cream, just tell them no. I can see why it would be annoying though. Luckily for me no ice cream van comes down my road!

yes will be weed and single cigarettes

Single cigarettes - maybe stuck into a Mr Whippy in place of the flake!

Have tried the "music means he's run out" line.... didnt last long....

I hate the one that parks on a hill, just beyond the zigzag lines right outside the primary school next to where I work.

It is a right pain seeing past him as loads of parked cars, and the Mums must loathe having to say No to their kids EVERY day!

tbh...our ice cream man pisses me off for coming at 1600 an hour before dinner!!! so I reckon they just shouldnt exsist apart from at the seaside/forest etc :o

PS the vodka/ciggy/weed van would be most welcome at any time however.

The one here always comes while the kids are eating tea. It doesn't seem to matter what time they eat either.
As soon as they hear it they always ask if they can have an ice cream for afters. Even after 10 years of me saying no everytime, they still ask.
Hopeful buggers my kids!

Ours does the same! Mostly I'm annoyed because I'm putting the kids to bed so I can't go and get one.

Plantsitter - thats actually my real reason for being pissed of with him! Terrible timing...

Our van arrives just before tea & as he knows I have 3 children in the house so he parks right outside.

The rule is, if we have no lollies in the freezer they can have a lollie for after dinner & the rest of the time is a big fat no.

discobeaver and sofluffy ROFL and pissing my pants, will have to remember sofluffie's ones.

Lololololol!

I remember posting exactly this thread a few years back. That was in the days when we still had bedtimes....

ours comes 2 or 3 times a day. rain or shine.
