“Yes, that IS an Ice Cream van you hear.”
It snowed in Glasgow today.
And … a half-hour later, it came by again.
Either something is 1) very wrong with the ice-cream van drivers, 2) very wrong with Glaswegians, or 3) the ice cream vans are selling something other than ice cream.
-D & T
4) they’re so fed up waiting for spring they decided it IS spring. Now. It’s all about perception you know, especially when you are an Glaswegian ice cream van driver. 😈 Although I bet they’re selling Glühwein from under the counter…
Oh, they’re selling SOMETHING from under the counter, all right…
Wooha! Ha I knew there was something in the back of my mind I guess I’d read that little snippet of useful knowledge somewhere… Hmm not sure what it says about me 😕
Oh, that says that you read our blog – we’ve mentioned it before. 😉
And sometimes you just need ice cream in the winter to thumb your nose and nature. 🙂 We’ve done it. But not from the ice cream trucks. Sheridans!! Always! 🙂
Actually it probably was a hot chocolate truck…lovely, creamy, organic Green and Black’s hot cocoa.
Over here they’d be selling that from a Bovril cart, or something of the sort.
Our friend Jess says:
“To answer your question about the ice cream man, or at least the one in my area…..yeah, he’s not selling ice cream. One of my roommate’s friends living near the vet school apparently had a late evening craving when she heard him go by and dashed out to buy an ‘ice lolly.’ He looked at her nervously and said ‘Uh, I don’t actually have any.’ So much for the lovely childhood memories eh?”
Awesome, isn’t it?
My vote is that you stop him and buy a sample of what he’s selling – whatever it is. Because now we ALL want to know! Come on – it’s just research for the blog. How bad can that be? 😉
