Ice Cream van going around estates after dark

Snake Plisken · 2010-03-31 23:10:47

Ok so every night I hear the ice cream van music at really wierd times like 8 or 9 O'Clock in the Finnstown estate, just wondering what the story is?

In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

Was thinking the same thing myself - wouldn't be the first time either!

Not saying that it is Mr Spliffy but yes, it's an old trick whereby in the past, some 'ice-cream men' have simply used the van as a cover for selling other products that make you 'feel good'. In one part of Cambridge, the customers of one particular ice-cream man always seem to be pale, thin and have track marks on their arms...they always seem to gather and hang around the area for about thirty minutes before he arrives each evening too.

If you are concerned Snake Plisken, call the Gardai and voice your suspicions.
