    Ice-cream vans

    Do you guys get these coming round where you live?

    (In case you don't know they are vans that go around streets playing music and stopping, selling ice-creams)

    I heard one today and it's the middle of February - and not really ice-cream eating weather o_O They always seem to be around here at the strangest times of the year.

    I do in the summer, sometimes. They don't come on my block though, probably cause theres a mean lady who yells on my block. She scares them away, I think. I wish they came around here in Febuary.

    It's been a while since I was anywhere an ice-cream truck would venture, but I remember them, sure. I haven't had an ice-cream for ages. I want an ice-cream. :aimcry:

    There's a ice cream van that stays in one place on along my route to lectures during the summer. It hasn't showed up yet. It's not consistantly warm enough.

    WHOA! This is scary, as my current MSN name is "Ice Cream Vans are my bane. They want me dead, you see"
    Which is pretty coincidental. I put that up on Saturday when I heard one (with the Popeye theme playing) pretty much circling my house.

    So basically, yeah.

    There's one that circles our neighborhood and plays Turkey in the Straw over and over. I feel so bad for whoever has that job.

    I'd never buy ice cream from one, though... who knows how good the freezing system is or how old the ice cream is?

    There is no ice cream vans here in Philippines, but there are lots of ice cream tricycles plying on large footpaths and small streets. There are so many ice cream tricycles especially in April, May and June, where the weather is hot.
