2littlegreenmonkeys · 31/05/2011 18:50

Neither are correct, it is ice pop Wink

Imnotaslimjim · 31/05/2011 18:50

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

2littlegreenmonkeys · 31/05/2011 18:53

Grin it is, ice pop, occasionally lolly pop.

squeakytoy · 31/05/2011 18:53

I am originally from Bolton, and we say Ice Lolly

kw1986 · 31/05/2011 18:54

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

Ice lollies come on sticks...

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

Fernie3 · 31/05/2011 18:54

I say ice lolly dh says lolly ice. I am from the south he is from the north. We live in the north and the kids say lolly ice so I'm the odd one out!

TidyDancer · 31/05/2011 18:55

It's definitely ice lolly! Never ever heard of a lolly ice!

AgentZigzag · 31/05/2011 18:55

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?

Mabelface · 31/05/2011 18:56

Lolly ice for me, and DH and the kids say ice lolly. I'm a woollyback.

olibeansmummy · 31/05/2011 18:58

I'm from up north and have never heard of lolly ice! Ds calls it a pop pop anyway!

meditrina · 31/05/2011 19:00

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.

DeWe · 31/05/2011 19:02

I'd just say lolly. I'm from north.

ratspeaker · 31/05/2011 19:02

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

KenDoddsDadsDog · 31/05/2011 19:39

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!

arfanarf · 31/05/2011 19:39

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