I really can't remember what tune the ice cream van played, and you'd think I would seeing as the ice cream man was my best friends Dad.  (And let me tell you she was the only one of us that ever got knocked over after running out from behind the ice cream van).  

 

Anyway, the Green Cross Code man, made this pop in to my head.  Can anyone remember?

This ice cream van malarkey reminds me of my son when he was younger. He was emphatic that he was gonna be the Prime Minister when he 'grew up'. I told him that you just don't become Prime Minister you have to have a job first. He thought for a bit and said 'OK - I'll be an ice cream man'.

 

He is 32 now ...........I'm still waiting for him to grow up.

I've used that one on the boy before.

Our local one used to play "Popeye the sailor man!" They were a great Italian family based about 200 yards from my house. I always think of Alex Salmond as being the missing brother.
Everything was spoilt when Mr Whippy and his appalling produce appeared on the scene. It's only in recent years that decent ice cream has re-appeared.

Oh come onâ€Ķ surely I wasn’t the only one?

Biting a hole and then sucking the ice cream through it like a straw.

 

Pushing the chocolate flake down to the bottom so the last mouthful was actually the best with the tail end of cornet a 'blob' of whippy ice cream and a chunky piece of choc!!

Kaffers, I used to tell him when he asked "when can I do that?" The answer was always 36. So, when can I have a girl friend, 36. When can I drink beer, 36. When can I wear high heels, 36 (if you must). When can I drive a car, 36. You get the picture. This was all during his Threes, the age when it's always when and why. 

 

So, a while later, he was still either 3 or just turned 4, the Lucky Insurance ad came on the TV, the one where the dog is driving the car. Master Cinds saw it and said to me "that's not right", I'm thinking he gets that dogs cannot drive cars, then he said "That dogs not 36".

 

probably funnier if you were there

Well, don't dob him in until you find out what the tune is, or....(if you're brave enough) threaten him with the dobbing if he DOESN'T tell you what the tune is!
