southsheff24 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I grew up on a council estate and remember throughout the 90's ice cream men turning up on the estate in his rusty van and some nursery tune faintly sounding through the speaker that was on its last hinge, while the locals Would rush up to at and order a quid special, 40 fags and the latest cinema film on bootleg vhs..... Did anyone else experience the same service from the dairy desert mobile vendors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard stories of stalls outside pubs selling seafood... Alot of "oldies tell me about them I do remember pop men coming round in a van selling sweets and odd bits like bog roll, if you saved the lid from your old bottle you got a discount on the next bottle, recycling has really evolved!

bladebeer Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 In the fifties a man used to go round the estates selling fruit and veg in the summer with a horse and cart, then later on he would be back with the same horse but a different cart selling ice cream.His hands used to be scruffy, and God knows where he went to the loo.No food and hygiene or health and safety then, and we still survived Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
