It's a pretty miserable day today here in Nottingham got a bit of thunder and lightneing and a lot of rain but I just heard the ice cream van playing it's tune!!
What's that about? This guy never stops, come rain, shine, or even winter, he always trundling round the estate. Even when the kids are at school. I'm beginning to think he might be a bit of a drug dealer...

Does anyone else have a full time ice cream man?

ummm.... i'll edit this when i think of something witty to say

In Belgium it's common to have Ice-cream vans driving around, summer and winter. And they have many different icecream flavours, not just boring vanilla.

Ask a question and be a fool for a minute...don't ask and be a fool your whole life.

Not fair! I think I only saw/heard the ice cream man twice this summer.

I smile because I have no idea what is going on...

Sounds a bit like the postal service too..."come rain or shine!" ubbrollsmile

My mom told me a story from when she was young, she said that there were 2 ice cream trucks in the same street from different companies and the drivers started fighting with each other. Apparently it ended in an ice cream truck shoot out, though fortunately no one was hurt.

The ice cream business is cutthroat, i tell you... biggrin
