I can hear an ice cream van stalking the street.

AIBU to think this is a worrying sign?

I am amazed so many people have an ice cream van on their road... I am obviously very sheltered!

RainMustFall · 17/05/2020 12:48

I think you need a chill pill OP. Maybe your ice cream man can sell you one? Grin

Sirsamuel I’ll be better prepared this week Grin

BirdieFriendReturns · 17/05/2020 12:53

I went to Starbucks twice this week. 😋

Ice cream vans? With the little hatch and big line of kids, the ones in the parks everywhere in the UK? During lockdown? Really? Is this a joke?? I don't get the drugs thing, but whatever.

Nicknacky · 17/05/2020 16:42

Why would it be a joke? And there wasn’t big lines at the one I was at, I saw it at the stop before and it had one person then we were the only ones there when we bought our slushy.

DD and I got a 99 yesterday, possibly the best one I've ever tasted. No queue, Dd waved him down as he went past and he stopped. Ours comes down our road everyday around 2pm, we'd just missed him faffing around putting shoes on.

LosBanditos · 17/05/2020 16:46

You know you have the biggest death toll in Europe right??

Nicknacky · 17/05/2020 16:47

LosBanditos Well, we survived after getting our slushy.

LosBanditos · 17/05/2020 16:47

You Brits crack me up!

LosBanditos · 17/05/2020 16:52

Are you guys even wearing masks??

Nicknacky · 17/05/2020 16:52

Nope, not required to but are recommended.

LycraLovingLass · 17/05/2020 16:56

I heard ours on the estate yesterday, got my shoes and waited but he missed our street. I was gutted.

LosBanditos · 17/05/2020 16:59

Ok. I guess you you know something nobody else does...Are your health workers all got the proper suits now? They kept showing pictures of your dr's with just plastic aprons and mask. Was that just at the start?

GreytExpectations · 17/05/2020 17:02

@LosBanditos maybe you should start your own goady thread with all these UK specific questions instead of attempting to derail this one with your sarky comments?

Nicknacky · 17/05/2020 17:03

LosBanditos You would have to ask a health worker that, I don’t work in hospitals. Police certainly don’t have them apart from PPE which is to be used when dealing with an incident where Covid might be an issue.

LosBanditos · 17/05/2020 17:09

Hey eat all your ice creams, you crazy guys, you may not have the weather, but you have got 'plucky' spirit, no fear! Didn't mean to upset you. Curious to know if what the news says here (Spain) is right. I guess it is!

trappedsincesundaymorn · 17/05/2020 17:41

Are you guys even wearing masks??

It's better to take them off first otherwise they get really messy.

SockYarn · 17/05/2020 17:51

Does your Spanish news also tell you that yesterday the percentage of people in the UK estimated to actually have Covid 19 at this very moment is 0.27%?

But yeah, we're all dicing with death by getting an ice cream from a van.

SorrelBlackbeak · 17/05/2020 19:32

We've had an ice cream van daily since Easter.
