Ice Cream Vans

[Josy]

Does the ice cream van still come around your area?

Where I used to live they were around numerous times a day every day.

Where I live now you are lucky to see one twice a year :laugh:

Because we are a village though we have lots of mobile vans like..

The Butcher Van
2 Chippy Vans
The Bakers Van
The Ice Cream Van (When they decide to appear)
The Mobile Library Van
The Fish Van

[Drew.]

Used to come down our road every summer but it hasn't been down this year, it came in February last year for some reason.

[Mitchell]

Here 4 the butcher van

[Crimson Dynamo]

We get no vans, just delivery

Going to the icy was a staple for me when i was wee and the fruit and veg van as he sold sweets too.

I used to get lucky bags and pan drops and a double wafer with monkeys blood.

[Kizzy]

The same on has been coming around for about 45yrs :)

Yeah and we have a fruit/veg van and a chippy van but oddly enough so many people think the latter is a strange concept around here.. I've never known there not to be a chippy van :laugh:

[Marc]

he looks like he's touched many children Kizzy.. Our ice cream van driver is a woman; she's trustworthy therefore.

[rubymoo]

We have an ice-cream van around once a day.

We do have scrap iron men in their vans, some have the loudest noises, not welcome on a Sunday morning:fist:

We had one today playing La Bamba, i thought "that's weird kids are at school?" Thinking it was an ice cream van, Had a look and it was a scrap van! We also have one with a horrid out of tune trumpet noise!

[Marc]

Yeah they have those here, they have some irish (i think?) guy asking for metal. LOL

[Locke.]

Every day all year round. Sometimes twice a day.

You just have to be careful not to leave your bike on the front, a friend left his bike on the front and they took it! He had to chase them down the street and ask them to get it off their van:laugh:

Vans are not allowed in the streets around my area as we have a championship winning ice cream shop down the road - every thing ya loved as a kid - they sell - plus you can buy all the ice creams in litre sizes and sorbets, they also do a fabulous ice cream cake which is great for xmas and birthdays, also all the bottles of sauce and bags of toppings , flakes & cornets - Just about everything - all the old fashioned sweets and mix ups.

[Dollface]

Ice Cream Van comes down my road every day, which is annoying 'cos it makes my dogs bark every single time :notimpressed:

[MTVN]

We do have an ice cream van but he's very inconsistent, seems to actually come more regularly in the winter as well for some reason. He's the only van we have as well, think a fish and chip one used to come but probably not enough money in it round here these days

[LukeB]

ice cream van only comes when i have no money on and its all in the bank -.-

[Sophiee]

we never get ice-cream vans or any sort of vans around here. I think I've maybe seen one once in all the years I've lived here?

[Nick.]

I can hear an ice cream van driving outside my window on Sunday's in the summer, there's a fast food van and a butchers van in my town.

[BigSister]

Yeah we have one that comes up once or twice a day.

[Suze]

That's not proper Rossi ice-cream, that's more like a Mr Whippy or Softy. You will have to have words with him :nono: Rossi ice cream doesn't come out of ice cream machines like those in his van, and it has pieces of ice in it. Rossi, the best ice-cream on this planet apart from Rum and Raisin :)

[Brother Leon]

Regularly during the summer.

[Calderyon]

Used to. Not anymore.

And it only sells/sold packages, not single ice creams.

:joker:

wtf. This is amazing. A Van going around selling Chips...North London needs one asap.

[JoshBB]

Occasionally. A few times a week maybe.

[Amy Jade]

Twice a day, once about 12ish and then at about 6ish. The guy who does the later one is indian and if I go to his van he tells me I should marry his son :s

[Marsh.]

Used to be once a day everyday, now he's cut down to 4 days.

Nobody buys anymore. Everybody stocks up at costco.

[Benjamin]

I live by a park in the city so no need for a van. :laugh:

[Kizzy]

I remember one years ago but I assumed they'd been banned... driving around with a vat of oil? :/

How dare you say that about Vittorio :(

[Ammi]

..:laugh:..they have them round here as well because in a village, it's quite a way from takeaway places etc...I never go though and find them really annoying because they're only there once a week...and if you know that you can only have fish and chips on a Wednesday, then you never want fish and chips on a Wednesday, it's a Thursday that you want them when the van isn't there....

[Slevin]

used to see one all the time when i was a kid. i havent seen one in years around my area.

This is basically the same as our chippy van, they come here Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and they also stop outside the pub too because well we haven't got a chip shop.

[Sophiee]

I had no idea that such thing as a chip van existed :o.

[Slevin]

[Shaun]
