mottaloo Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 This brought memories flooding back growing up, although it's not this model as the one i remember had a sloping back. When i was at senior school it was an orange Verrechia van that took my lunch money. Happy days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen the film but I’ve read up on it in the past (hence my adding the expense of a gun in to the business plan). Fascinating that something as frivolous as ice cream can have a gangland connection. I absolutely amazed my kids once (just the once!) We were walking through a park, central London and there was an ice cream vendor. I stopped, and asked, could I have two free ice creams for the kids. He looked a little bit surprised, and then said yes. I got the ice creams and asked if I could take two flakes. He said help yourself. I took the flakes from the jar, popped them in the ice cream, thanked him, and walked off. Kids: gobsmacked. Lesson: always ask, if you don’t ask, you don’t get. He was either the nicest most easy going hippy street vendor in all of London. Or he thought I was some rival ice cream hit man, with two killer sidekick dwarfs.

The Fun Factory Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Yes I think that the film takes a much lighter comedic tone than what actually happened in real life. The Ice Cream Man Cometh by Peter Kay is also comedy gold. Back when he used to be funny. I think that is enough from me talking about Ice Creams!
