I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice-cream

Can we just clear something up, mother****ers.

A 99 comes with a Cadbury's flake. If there's no flake, it's not a 99. Technically, if it's a cheap and nasty flake, it's also not a 99, as the term is a trademark owned by Cadbury. Therefore, stop referring to ordering "a 99, with a flake" or "I'll have a 99, and might pay extra for a flake sometimes" or whatever. That's full of FAIL.

Can you tell I spent a summer working in an ice cream kiosk? I pull a mean ice cream (and make an amazing sandwich, apparently)

In terms of ice cream vans driving past, I've never seen one near my flat, but then I'm a mile from the seafront, so that's hardly surprising. I heard one while up by Jake's house the other day, but didn't see it. There used to be one come along my parent's road every summer, but I don't know if he's still about.

I wanted an ice cream from a van today, after my op at gosh but mum said the van looked to grotty for ice cream. (interesting take on classic song!)

They all seem like a rare thing to everyone yet round here we must have about 6 of them driving around the entire area every day (apart from Sundays). Two of them occasionally stop on our road but they always drive too far up or down my road so I can never be bothered to go get one.

I did buy some ice cream from one that stopped outside my friend's house (like 4 roads away from me) last week. I got an oyster, it was good


The odd thing was that they even came round on odd days during the winter lol.

I scream. you scream, we all scream for ice-cream.
Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and lime!

We have Frank who comes round the streets every day at the min. He has also been parking outside Aidan's school at the end of the school day for the last about 4 months or so.

Frank was part of my childhood memories! I remember getting shandy lollies from him with a dollop of icecream on the top

The one that comes round here every now and again comes at around 5pm... which is always right during dinner or just before for most people... it's a pretty silly time of day! So we never get one...

When i was young though and living at my mums we just never got one because they were too expensive!

I used to take Dylan to the static one at the park occasionally though...

Most of the Time when im at my dads a ice cream van comes up the road and i do get one most of the time.

Something cool i saw the other was one of those original ice cream bicycles. a slight pity as i was on my school bus at the time and had no money on me so couldn't get one.

Also a while ago in the middle of a a thunderstorm a ice cream came up my road so for a laugh my went and got a 99 :--D :--D :--D
