Ice Cream Vans

[Bushbaby 11]

I'm talking 1960s here.

Something I could never understand was the "Walls" policy of selling Iced-Cream in rectangular chunks, and having cones with an oblong container section, but they were each of different sizes, so that when you put the iced-cream in the cone, it wobbled like fury.

It wasn't just a small amount of "play" in the dimensions, it was a totally diferent size and shape.

 

Perhaps it was designed by the same idiot who decided to put a hotel next to the Peace Gardens?

My Auntie used to own an ice-cream van (lucky me) free cornets on a sunday afternnon and realy proper flakes yes the realy ones not those cheaper ones that you sometimes get.

 

My favourite though was the screwballs the ones where you found a bubble in the bottom that tasted lovely? I used to get 2 in my screwball ice-cream.

I worked at Hulleys in the 70s packing tubs, screwballs and using the piping machine . the icecream came out continuously so if you got behind filling the empty tub you were in trouble.

the fruit in the icecream came in tins.

We had to wear little white wellies and a hair net -even the men lol.

My old school chum's dad was an icecream man -(manfredis)

in the shiregreen area.-60s 70s.

He lived on molineaux road.

Anyone remember him ,mr turner was his name forgotten his first name could have been fred.

I can only remember Hully's and Walls ice creams, but there was always one outside Western Park gates, one one each end, always had my cone with a choc flake on top.
