Banksy, Francis Rossi, Johnny Vegas and Ice Cream, by ricobenfico on Jul 29, 2011 10:00:42 GMT 1, The Ice Cream Van Cometh
The distant sound of approaching chimes, the promise of a soft gloopy cornet, and reaching the front of the queue by the sliding window - there is little doubt that the ice cream van has charmed its way into modern British cultural life.
For BBC Radio 4, sound designer Jim Carey jumped into the colourful world of all things ice cream - and on his journey met some well known van fans - comedian Johnny Vegas, Status Quo's Francis Rossi, and elusive artist Banksy.
The Ice Cream Van Cometh can be heard on BBC Radio 4 at 1030 BST on Saturday 30 July - and on the BBC iPlayer.

Cherry brandy lolly (although cider is good) strip of ice cream accross the top.
Sprinkles over the ice cream
Now that is a cracking mix. Still miss it. However still always have ice lollies in the freezer
Cannot beat them

Banksy, Francis Rossi, Johnny Vegas and Ice Cream, by speebe on Jul 29, 2011 14:35:27 GMT 1, I used to sell ice creams from a seaside cafe and on the beach... I agree with xymart you can't beat the oyster.
I never liked selling the mr whippy variety of ice-cream.
Only because everyone that bought one off me regardless of size wanted or money paid got whatever came out.... never got the hang of that machine.
