the ice cream alliance

the ice cream alliance


go with z to get another bit of mini stuck back on.
as we wait, a mr.whippy ice-cream van pulls up opposite with old-school chimes clanging.

'a cone with a flake and sprinkles please' i say to the ice-cream man.

'no mate, we don't have any hundreds and thousands: been illegal since 1999. blame jamie oliver: the ice-cream alliance has been fighting government about this but soon, it'll be impossible for us to put ANYTHING on an ice-cream'

i look about for the hidden cameras.

he continues, '...it's funny though innit: jamie oliver's on that school dinners programme saying that ice-cream is bad for you but then 6months later he's doing his own brand ice-cream in sainsburys'

we take a cone with a flake and splurt of red coloured syrup.
z is quite happy but says it tastes 'funny' after the orange juice drink he had liberated from the mini dealership.

i wonder if jamie oliver realises how many enemies driving round in ice-cream vans he has?
surely the best type of foe: you can hear them coming from miles away.
