Ice cream van music

[mummytasha11]

At 730pm! Loud as anything! Grrrrrr

We don't get an ice cream van.

do you live near me our ice cream van is on his way round can hear him streets away tell the kids he has run out of ice cream thats what i used to do when mine were little

Is this not normal where you live?

You need some eggs and a good aim

this is why parents tell DCs the music is to let them know they've run out

and i am going to get a chocolate feast or a cornetto mint i think

Where I used to live the ice cream van sold cigarettes and bread and used to come round at 9pm. And he played music and honked his horn. Wanker.

I need bread and cigarettes.

Why don't they do this anymore??!

You need to move to a scummier area. You've obviously done far too well for yourself

Tell the dc that the ice cream man plays the music to let the children know that he has sold out of ice cream-this worked so well on my dn that [aged 34] she told her dh there was no point in going out to the van as he had no ice cream left!!!!

twice a day for us - once at lunchtime where I work (macdaaanalds, macdaaanalds, kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut), and once at about 7pm (monty python theme tune) which makes it soooo easy to settlle the kids for bed...

Argghhhhh yes. Just got baby off to sleep, really don't need Match of the Day music blasted out so loud it distorts.

When DD was a tiny baby I used to loathe the Ice-cream man.

Her nap time coincided with ice-cream van time. Stoopit music

Just hearing 'Strangers in the night' makes me crave a 99

Massive work conference today in a marquee, hotter than the sun, I have never been so happy to hear the ice cream van pull up. I think you may BU unless I'm alone in hearing the ice cream van and having the music take me back to endless summers and a treat from DM for being good.

You people who get away with the "run out of ice cream" fibs.
How do you get away with it?
Do your children not look out and see the other kids walking away with ice creams?!!

I tried this once with DS.
He looked out and went "No it hasn't silly mummy, look!"

I unwittingly 'introduced' next doors DD to the ice cream van. Took her and DS over to get one.
Apparently she didn't know what the ice cream van was before her parents must be cursing me!

I used to tell my two that it was the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

omg manicbmc that literally made me gasp! Im 22 and still have an irrational fear of that man!

My dd is 13 and still thinks he's empty when he plays music

I used to work on a van, god I hated it! The music is ingrained in my psyche...

I find the music very creepy and ominous

creepy ice cream van
