The ice cream van around Hockley was Verrechio.
That's what we had in Paddington St. I thought it was Verrecchio's....Carolina dear Verrecchia probably the first ice cream maker to have an ice cream parlour 1953/55 just before the hill going up Dudley Rd from Spring Hill . May have been the first ice cream vans with fluorescent lights early 60's Tony Verrecchia used to cover quite a lot of Birmingham, I remember him in Winson Green area while visiting my sister RIP in Harding St. Tony carried the business on from his Father then Tony died some years ago

WilliamStreeter,
Some languages change the ending of forenames and surnames according to whether they are males or female, and according to whether you are talking about them or talking to them. I'm not sure what the rules are in Italian as I don't speak the language. In Greek, a name of, say, Manolis Fragakis would, when referring to his wife or daughter, be, for instance, Sofia Fragaki. If I was talking to Manolis rather than about him, I would address him as Manoli.
A drummer friend of mine, who was married to an Italian lady, always said it was a very difficult language to learn. I can speak personally about learning the Greek language, which has the additional complication of not using the Latin alphabet like most of northen Europe. Fortunately I have a Greek son-in-law who speaks excellent English!

Walls Ice cream, the same kind the girl sold at the pictures during the intermission with that tray hanging round her neck with the little light,. How about Butterkist popcorn remember the add "do you love me" "of course l do I buy you Butterkist"Hi Bob,
I certainly wouldn't disagree with you on that one mate I can almost taste one right now ha ha mmm. Do you remember the fruit sundaes you could get from the ice cream man, I seem to recall there were a variety of fruits, but they were mostly fruit cocktail, which came in little tubs complete with a wooden spoon mmm.
