cobra_gordo Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I saw the thread title and assumed we were fantasy booking what vehicle we'd have if we were to start flogging ice creams. I'd have this post-apocalyptic looking treat machine. I moved house a year ago, from somewhere so rural the ice cream van never bothered to come round, to a place so middle class the neighbourhood watch lady runs it with an iron fist and we don't get one anymore. The only chance we get is if we happen to be at the local park where they have a regular bloke selling out of a blue and white transit van competing with the parks own kiosk. He takes card and charges £4 for a 99 with a flake, the kiosk is 5 minutes walk from where the slide is so fuck that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 As some of you may remember my absolute dream in life is to have my own coffee van (cafe if im being honest) but that's big bucks, so we've been looking at something smaller to raise the funds. I was very close last summer to purchasing an "ice cream bike" which is a a bike that essentially carries a massive chest freezer on it so we could sell ice cream/lollies etc. 11yo even had this idea of fleecing her mates with homemade Prime ice pops so everyone was on board. I couldn't do it in the end due to illness, but this summer is a real possibility, so will keep you all updated. Just need to convince my ex to keep it all in her garage, and use her electricity to keep the stock cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted May 22 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 22 My wife was telling me last night her mate from work lives pretty rural so there’s not a single takeaway that will deliver to them, but there’s a chippy van that drives round the area during the week and does fish and chips door to door.

That's the dream right there isn't it? Not many chippies do deliver in my experience. Well, proper chippies anyway. I assume its just not cost effective for them.

Well that'll save many a 5 mile walk with a chippy tea down her pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 22 Paid Members Share Posted May 22 We have an ice cream van round here - but I don't know what type it is because I haven't actually seen the cunt yet. I've been hearing it almost every day, around the time I'm posting this, for about a month. And I've no idea whatsoever where it is. I've looked around and leaned out of all my windows - no sign of it. At this point I'm convinced somebody's just playing an ice cream van jingle loudly out of their window to troll the local kids and me.

I've probably mentioned this before but I lived in a predominantly Muslim area as a kid and twice a week to coincide with people leaving the local Mosque's there would be a chip van come around and sell the biggest bags you've seen for fuck all, always great quality chips, too.

wordsfromlee Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I'm not sure if it was just my area or more of a nationwide thing but our local ice cream van only played their chimes when they had run out of ice cream. I always thought it was a weird way round of doing things but my Dad apparently knew the boss of Mr Whippy and said he'd told him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 We had a chippy van up the estate for a bit. It wasn’t proper chippy though, more akin to chip pan chips your mam made. It lived a short life owing to the fact that chippy tea night was and always has been a Friday night and there’s no way your mum is forking out for chip pan chips she could make herself on a Tuesday night.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 23 Paid Members Share Posted May 23 When we used to go into Cheadle for lunch every Saturday a few years back, we used to go past a chippy van that was always parked up outside Wickes. It was called Live 'n Let Fry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
