Ice cream man...

Name changed as previous threads outing!

Where I live we have an ice cream van who's been visiting more since November than he did all summer. It's been 3 times a day throughout January and February so far. Oh keeps joking that he's selling more than just ice cream! AIBU for thinking this is plausible? He does sell ice cream, but equally the majority of his sales seem to be to adults, and why would you bring an ice cream van round 3 times daily in January or in snow..? Is this actually a thing, or is it just a myth and we're being a bit over suspicious!?

Oh I thought this was going to be a Jonathan Richman appreciation thread...

Our local Ice cream van is round every day. He's a lovely bloke sells cheap, give the kids with no money a free gumball on Friday if they don't have money. He's fab and everyone looks out for him, even my dog. He's fab x

Definitely a possibility. I used to love on a new build estate where someone converted their garage into a barbers shop and sold drugs out of it as if that was a plausible cover Hmm

@NottonightJosepheen Yes indeed. I haven't heard it for years. Must try to dig it out.
