They 'target' obese children? What do they do, follow them around waving 99's at them?


Fox - I closed your italics tag for you (after a couple of attempts!)


Yeah the "mr whippy" type stuff (made from water and powdered ice-cream mix) isn't exactly the best ice cream. But kids like it and it's not expensive.


You can get it in purple sweet potato flavour in Japan.. yuck..

 

I completely agree. Ice cream vans sell rubbish ice cream. (I spent my first 25 years in Italy) There do not seem to be many small start up companys selling "home" made ice cream from vans.

I have been told that the "you want a flake on this" style vans would drive them out from every park straight away.

Not sure if it is true

The best ice cream I've (still) ever had was from a small cart which used to be on Tooting Bec Common at weekends, must have been in the early sixties. I guess it was Italian. We used to get one after going swimming in the lido.


Absolutely delicious - real vanilla, and sort of grainy. Never found anything like it since. My mouth is watering just thinking about it :)


Though my own home made ice cream is pretty good, though I say it myself :))

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
