According to the DM, ice cream vans are dying out due to double glazing making it difficult to gear them.
They must be joking. The ones around here are SO loud, and can be heard from several blocks away. Besides, they come at set times and the kids certainly know when that is...every day.

It certainly hasn't in my neck of the woods, Georgiesmum.

Nonetheless it hasn't stopped the ice cream vans from doing business.
Popeye will be around at about 3.30pm tomorrow ( where I live ), minty.
haven't seen or heard an ice-cream van for years.

the last driver died and no-one took on his route.

Blinking expensive for an ice-cream. Mr Alba misses his single or double nugget :-D
Ours used to plat The Happy Wanderer, but that was in the days we were pleased with how the Trotters were playing.
Mmmmm haven't heard the ''Yankee Doodle Dandy'' van for a month or two, wonder whats happened to him.
and droogz apparently
that is why you see / hear them in winter

yes that innocent jolly icecream man could be a cocaine snorting dope-fiend off duty .....
Lol at PP. Rather have a Juicy Fruit.

I have been thinking about this.....surely in summer people have doors and windows open?
Usually they have in my experience, woof.
When we moved to the Uk from Canada my daughter had never heard an ice cream van...

When the first one arrived in our street and she heard the sound I told her it was a mobile church and whenever she heard it she had to close her eyes, put her hands together and pray 'til it had disappeared.....x
Cruel Mommy ^^^^^ ;-)
so in that case, why would double glazing make a difference?
Also in my experience, it wouldn't woof.
DM talking bull again
There is an ice cream van sited outside my workplace and one that goes up and down the beach near my house. I've never heard one play a tune.

I don't think I've heard one anywhere for years.
It used to be exciting to hear the tune and rush to ask your mum for a few pence to buy an ice cream - or cider lolly.
Can't see them but hear them loud and clear playing Match Of The Day Theme
Haven't heard one in years. I thought with supermarkets and deep freezers at home there wasn't a call for them these days.
I have to say I love ice cream and eat some most days.
Good gal, cupotee. It's lovely stuff.
