Yes deffo lolly ice in L'pool. Took me years to get the hang of saying ice lolly.

Actually, it's iced lolly. As opposed to an un-iced lolly.

Tip top is squirty cream....isn't it??

Pandemoniaa Waitrose begs to differ dahling!!

Lolly ice - (from L'pool) In fact, this subject often crops up on here so I make a point of saying it now even more.

YANBU.

Lolly Ice??? Wtf?

Originally from Merseyside, and it's lollyice.

I think I might be the only person who says I am going to the pictures though (as opposed to cinema)

Waitrose is going downhill fast then!

I'm in Yorkshire and it's Ice Lolly here. Never heard of Lolly Ice.

It's Lolly Aice, if you don't mainde..

Ice lolly, Ice pop (in plastic tube) lollypop is hard sweet type lolly.

I also say pictures for the cinema

That should have been Aice Lolly

one can't believe one slipped up

ice pop in the tube, ice lolly on a stick

Welsh.

I used to say going to the pictures before I got posh!

Yep, ice pop or icicle is them what you have in a long plastic tube,

lolly pop = chuppa chups hard boiled sweet on a stick

In Australia all sweeties are 'lollies'

Another Lolly Ice - from Warrington. :-)

I say pictures too, mainly just to wind up my southern, public school educated husband. I've also taught my kids stock broad scouse phrases. Was funny when they were littler and he'd arrive home to hear "orite der, ar dad!"

Well I'm Welsh too and they've always been tip tops to me.

Perhaps it's a family word.

arf- crikey, that's posh. you used the brand!

Lolly ice, I am originally from the N.W but live in the N.E now and everybody says ice lolly here.

Lolly ice sounds better though.

Def think lolly ice must be a NW thing. That's what I say and I grew up in Liverpool.

In Yorkshire now with a southern DH and seem to be the only person who says it that way!

I've never heard of lolly ice, have ice lollies or just lollies (hard sweetie ones) but do use poke for ice-cream but you can only get pokes from the poke man (ice-cream van). If you make them yourself they're just cones

Currently trying to teach DS to say coom 'ed, will also start work on orite der.

What??? NEver heard anything so ridiculous. Of course it's an ice lolly.

Ice poles are the ones in a long plastic thing btw. And pops does not come into this discussion, that is the noise a gun makes!

Doesn't even make sense... but it works in a liverpool accent... Sat here channelling the Beatles saying it over and over... and in my very poor accent it sounds better as Lolly Ice.. but in my southern arrrr it sounds better as "Ice Lolly" So is it, Lolly.... Ice as opposed to Ice lolly (i.e ice on a stick).

Also have ice pops (in a sleeve) and Jubblies.
