Anyone else hear the icecream van at 10pm?

[Millhaven]

Last night. Playing the 'Match of the Day' theme music. I heard it but couldn't see it. Fancied an icecream about then as well.

Mind you, was in Peckham, Bellenden Road. Might not have dared venture into East Dulwich.

No self respecting ED parent would allow their child to eat ice cream from a van. It all has to be dairy free, gluten free, organic and free range in those parts!

Yeah. Fair point.

[Otta]

Pah, if it ain't Mr Whippy, my kid ain't eating it!

[Jeremy]

Worry not, ice cream vans have found their haven in Peckham and Penge.

[Rolo Tomasi]

Yes was in the Begging Bowl when it went past.

[Otta]

They never stay outside mine long enough for me to get down the stairs. Bastards!

[Louisa]

Give me a 99 from a van over a ?4-?6 dairy free gluten free fun free organic ED middle class ice cream any time of the day.

I didn't think they were allowed to sound their chimes after a certain time of the evening. I have 8pm in my head. Or is that a myth?

[PokerTime]

Are you sure they were only selling ice cream?

[Jeremy]

I'm positive that ice cream drug vans exist. Peckham's probably as likely a place as any.

It is an offence for an ice cream van to sound it's chimes before 12 noon or after 7pm:

Peckham is ice cream vendor bandit country.

Compared to the amount of chavmobiles around with huge subwoofers, or screaching modified scooters... the odd ice cream van is the least of my concerns.

[Earl Aelfheah]

We should set up a vigilante group - the Guardianista Angels - to go around confiscating the Mr Whippy from offending vans and replacing it with organic, free range, gelato.

[Millhaven]

I'm pro-Mr Whippy. There. Said it. Go ahead and judge me.

[Louisa]

The Guardian reading gelato brigade should be force fed mr whippy. You've not lived til you've had a 99er.

Louisa.

[Jeremy]

I kinda like those "oyster" things.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Oh come on, everyone likes a soft whip.

[Louisa]

I once saw an oyster cone with Cornish soft scoop in it, whilst on holiday in Looe. I was horrified.

[Dopamine1979]

How much is a 99er these days?

[Earl Aelfheah]

I had a 99er the other day and for some reason it tasted strongly of Banana.

[Otta]

Is the low cal version a 69er?

[Vik]

?1.20 outside Bessemer for a 99.

I do like a whippy oyser though, sauce, nuts, the lot.

[Otta]

I'm all about a lemon cone with strawberry sauce.
