Means the roads don't red gritting anymore. Always had the theory that in winter the ice cream van drivers drive gritting lorries and snow ploughs

Probably not, but they would have known the roads. I fancy a lemon ice now.

My sister used to tell her children that too. Heartless, some parents.

"The sound every parent dreads to hear "

The utter heart pounding panic of trying to get out the house in a pair of shoes clutching a fiver, as if their life depended on it.

To realise we have the same ice lollies in the freezer when they come back with one

Where we used to live the children could hear it but not see it, and when they asked me what the noise was; having just watched Chitty chitty bang bang, The child catcher slipped out they believed me and behaved impeccably every time they heard after until they twigged it wasn't. Needless to say I've never won any great Mum awards

Ours usually appears around Easter. It's only Palm Sunday so they have a week to go yet.

Came home an hour ago: my son-in-law had to pull over to let the ice cream van pass...couldn't believe my eyes. They're keen!

Ours also comes all year round. But I think he sells more than ice cream and lolly ices if you get my drift.

That reminds me of when my daughter was little and we heard the icecream van and I said yes she could have one,which I may add was a rare occurance. Excitedly she ran out with her money,only the git had disappeared. She came back in so disappointed I stuck my shoes on and we both went in search of him...

How the hell an icecream van can vanish without further trace is beyond me,but not knowing his route he was forever lost...

Poor thing still remembers that traumatic event to this day.

I think ours come all during winter too!

Although even if I fancied one I have no idea where she/he parks up!

I heard it today also. However, it brings back bad memories from my childhood as my parents told me they only play music when they have sold out

It sprung at 2:37 GMT / 3:37 BST when I had to get up and find an antihistamine.
