One hell of a work ethic excellent.

Hats off to you.

Used to cover for my mate when he went on holiday so about three weeks a year in total. A temp really used to be paid 21 shillings an old guinea. Sunday papers with the extra supplements meant if you rode a bike you had to get the balance right .

In the wrong house.

My late father used to say Charlies Dead which meant a ladies slip or underskirt was showing from the hem of her skirt . Confused me then and still does years later. Should be on Confused.com.

I reckon you would get a few quid for that . You know what they say where there is muck there is money pardon the hun.

Many happy returns have a great one.

I wish i was a spaceman ( great tune) . Yes i remember the Anglia van to small as you said just sold wafers and ice lols. Could not do the chopped nuts now as people with nut allergies. Just glad iam not allergic to ice cream strawberry sauce . Yes even the cones were oblong shape to fit the ice...

Good old tune. Take a mouthful of hundreds and thousands first. Sheer bliss.

Was at my daughters this afternoon and heard and ice cream van playing the tune Teddy Bears Picnic.

Great picture those are the Mr Whippy ice cream vans i remember. The knack of working machine and getting the ice cream to twirl around into that lovely shape then sticking a flake in it. Lovely jubbly fancy a Jubbly anyone.

Did you run out and buy one ? .

Superb post great memories. Showing my age now this is a newer van with the distinctive livery pink and cream i think Tonibell vans were Blue.

Was it 90 plus percent profit . Best of luck to them.

Do you remember Mr Whippy vans .

No problem in those days . Not so much traffic on the roads and you would be concentrating on eating your 99. No power steering vehicle rolling around the corners oh the joys. Those ice cream men risked their lives to bring joy to us kids .

Great post i remember them from the 1960s.

Agree waiting for the answer yes or no if you could have one. Hoping they never had never run out of the one you wanted . Loved the wafer oysters.

Ice cream good.
