to think it's ice lolly not lolly ice

[bigfatcath]

Ffs!!!

On hols in north west and been to Liverpool today. Asked for an ice lolly and was laughed out of the shop!

I mean lolly ice???!!!!

Or am I wrong????

I think they also say pants for trousers.

You are right do asyouwould... lolly ice only sounds right with a Scouse accent.

I live in Liverpool and although OH and all his family say it, I never would! It's ice lolly!

I do say pants for trousers sometimes though

Scouse DH says Lolly Ice - it sounds completely wrong, even after 25 years.
it's an ice lolly!!!

My mum will sometimes say pants for trousers when she visits. The DCs are old enough to be bi-lingual now, but they still do a double-take!
I taught my DCs to say 'you talkin ter me or chewin a brrriccchhh? Eether way ye get yer teeth knoccchhhed in!'
My DB tells me it's dated .
And < random Scouse fact > - the yoof up there now say 'book' as per RP, rather than the 'bewk' I was brought up to say and still have to think about before saying it.

As a kid I uses to say ice choc instead of choc ice

Lollyice, pictures and pants here too (Liverpool)

Have been known to call it 'facebewk' now and again (or even 'facey' as per my pupils....

My dd 2nd a half calls them pop sometimes ice pop) dp ,me and ds call them ice lollies

Well I'm from darkest Surrey and I have been known to say ice lolly or lolly ice as well as either ice pole or ice pop for the ones in the plastic tube.....

I'm in the Midlands and we have ice lolly

If it's in a plastic tube we call them tip tops

If its triangle shaped then its a jublee
