Not that I knew what it was as a child.<BR/><BR/>The two rival ice-cream vans which menace our neighbourhood play "Yankee Doodle" and "You are my Sunshine" (slightly wrong). I've never seen them sell anyone an ice-cream. (Perhaps they need to be watching The Apprentice.)Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530845147391401083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071145879112688737.post-58968356172461228402008-05-15T22:15:00.000+01:002008-05-15T22:15:00.000+01:00Sorry.

I've posted a complete list of everyone who left their blog link on his Big Big Stars post a while back in a post of my own in April called Blog Rolling With My Homies over on my blog, so if you want to see it come on over and sit a spell. I don't bite..…that hard anyway! <BR/><BR/>If you did know just overlook this since my brain feels like mush from trying to comment on all 217 on the list because somebody had the bright idea to challenge me to it!!DeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859707806588366137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071145879112688737.post-14060919974653087422008-05-14T17:59:00.000+01:002008-05-14T17:59:00.000+01:00Jack, I know the EXACT non-PC term you are referri...Jack, I know the EXACT non-PC term you are referring to!

I don’t seem to dredge up the memory of the ‘Funeral March’ as tootled from a van. I also member, cones with raspberry essence, sliders (there were also sliders with chocolate nougat wafers that my dad called by a very un-PC name) and of course, oysters. <BR/>Tres’ Yummy.<BR/><BR/>Love the blog by the way.<BR/><BR/>JackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071145879112688737.post-76767006836203219732008-05-14T13:57:00.000+01:002008-05-14T13:57:00.000+01:00I think I'd prefer the Funeral March to the circus...I think I'd prefer the Funeral March to the circusy crap they normally played on the ice cream trucks of my childhood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
