to think ice cream vans are unnecessary in this day and age

[AlaskaNebraska]

and to look DAGGERS at anyoen who buys therefrom?

oh you are all stil here!!! fabbo.
yes a nice handmade whicker trike with organic whole fruit gelati would be nice
not some low level offender with an NVQ in leisure and tourism

I am actually under siege because of the ice cream man!

My two sons hear him coming and I have to hold them back from rushing out of the door to buy one - my eldest is 11, so he just grabs his pocket money and off he runs.

I try turning the radio up so that they can't hear his chimes, but then he parks right outside my front garden and looks for my two kids!!!! I have to lock the doors and try to distract the kids until he's gone!!!!

I don't mind them having an ice cream on weekends, but not during the week.

I WISH we still had ice-cream vans around here. Not that I would use it, being three floors up my Edinburgh tenement...

we never did till this guy started
one family bought one and then moved

Ice cream vans have never been necessary. You need to understand that notion before we can move on with this.

lol nvq in leisure and tourism, bad lady.

That icecream is made of the fat from cows labs, aerated and mixed with marge.

FACT.

onebatmother "That icecream is made of the fat from cows labs, aerated and mixed with marge."

You say this like it is a bad thing. I love it when people try to gross others out with the truth about food. It never occurs to them that we already know it all and just don't care.

Junk food - there is a clue in the name isn't there?

YABVU and miserable.

its nto even COW juice
its cack
didnt thatcher invent MR Whippy?
see its FACIST ice cream

We have an ice cream van comes to our house. It has SAINSBURY written on the side.

Mind you, DSs sports day tomorrow has a proper ice cream van.

Healthy eating messages anyone?

mr whippy is 90% air, is it not?

I don't mind crap every now and then but I am object to paying for bugger all.

I lolled on mary QUeen of shops when all the mums were saying the bread looked "unhealthy"
er yes...

Morloth roffle

I said COW'S LABS though. THINK woman.

I do agree though - I am addicted to processed meat products. Somehow I get a kind of blurriness about the brain that allows me to wolf down a pork pie or pasty before I suddenly come to and remember they're made from pig's cocks and lard.

Mr Whippy ice cream is gorgeous with raspberry sauce and a flake in it.

I'm with Morloth on people who try to shock you/dissuade you from eating a particular food by telling you what's in it. I've had a few people do that with gelatine,telling me it's melted animal bones, and all I can think is 'and?'.

i see your point
but tbh if youa re goign to eat veg oil frozen go for a walk to your local Spar and get one
work of the flab man

the ice cream van man outside our school used to sell fags individually . Not sure that any of us ever bought ice cream, or even if he had any ....

This thread has just reminded me why Walls make ice cream and sausages and why ice cream manufacturers write "real dairy ice cream" on the side of tubs.

1. it's air - no reason not to, so is pretty much every consumer luxury
2. They sell drugs - no reason not to, I'm thinking that a top-notch crack dealer would have more pride.
3. It's cow's labs - see Morloth.

Next!

We don't have an ice cream van here. I'm very of those who do.

All ice cream vans sold single fags, didn't they? They're run by small time crooks.

NO NO NO POINTY
in MUMSNET land they are all run by rosy cheeked grandads with a smile and awink for all and an extra scoop

really by men called Wayne with a tag on their ankle for a small incident of affray

One of my local ice cream men was shot close-range with a shot gun. Surprisingly, he survived. Rosy cheeks he had not. Bit bloody maybe.

there the "ripple" for you!

lol
