ed gifted w yet another wait for it.....ice cream shop

[cnn]

the old barbers shop on ed road is allegedly being turned into an ice cream shop. looks like oddenos isn't enough to feed the neighbourhood....

[Seabag]

That's tragic, does that mean people who enjoy ice cream will have two choices

What's the world coming to

[Quintessential]

Can never have enough ice cream. Ken the barber was a great guy, short back & sides with a smile. Still miss him.

Looking forward to it - should be a nice addition to our parade. With the kids' playground 20 ft away, I imagine there'll be a steady stream of customers too. Wish them the best of luck.

Exciting! I'm not a fan of Oddenos and still miss the one on Melbourne Grove.

[fortified]

Not sure the ice cream van people that serve the playground will be delighted by this news.

[geh]

as Ken always used to say "Peckham Beach" so what more befitting shop than one selling ice cream?

a perfect epitaph.

[cnn]

walking past again the lights are on - in that curious halfway house between highlighter and brothel pink that is so prevalent in trendy Hoxton 'pop ups'

could it be that Snog or its wannabe equivalent is on its way to ED?

Ditto! Don't get the fuss about Oddnos meself...

Hoping this one good!

I love Odonno's ice cream...but I loved and still miss Mrs. Scoop's shop more...and I have yet to find a better coconut ice cream than Mrs. Scoop's. :(

If the ice cream van is one of those that sells that vile ice "cream" that looks like shaving cream, then I'm sure many parents at the playground will be delighted if it goes elsewhere ......

Let the customers choose.

If you're in the food/catering industry and haven't updated your offering since 1980, then losing a bit of business shouldn't come as a complete shock.

Too true. I let my kids choose between the organic icecream in 'handcrafted' cone or a neon-blue 'Mr Bubble' bubblgum ice lolly... They'd choose a Mr Bubble every time! Give me a nice bit of Mr Whippy personally!

[Jeremy]

Well in that case if the kids want Mr Bubble, then the ice cream man has nothing to worry about!

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Mr Bubble x 2 please.
