What do icecream men/women do in winter

[Malevolence]

They come together daily in a conglomerate to decide next summer's official jingle.

They don't do a very good job then, my local one has had the Monty Python's Flying Circus theme for years now.

They continue to push their other goods such as fags, cocaine and chewy sweets.

Haven't they recently relaxed the law on the amount of time they can play the jingle?

Yup! http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-23279302

Up from every 3 minutes to every 2 minutes. Ha!

They use to make a fortune round by me cause theres not a shop close, kids just use to buy sweets in the winter. Zappers were my favorite

 

[Cosimo]

They just chill out.

They still go doing the rounds in winter in Edinburgh.

I think these ones are selling class A drugs on the side

Drive gritters

 

[Biohazard]

Abduct children in order to force feed them ice cream.

All year is fine if he works hours he might make money, ice cream is still needed in winter.

I've been wondering recently, how the hell do ice cream vans make enough profit to survive???

Someone I used to work with used to buy her knock-off fags from the milk man.

same for those vans that used to be like a newsagent on wheels I knew a girl who's dad had a fleet of them he had to protect by force on more than a few occasions

It's almost like the drug cartels

The one that comes round here does little convenience items as well as ice-cream and he's round almost everyday

 

[Hedge]

Sell cheap cigarettes to children.

Yes, family business, usually finish late September unless it's really cold.
Uncle owns 30~ Ice-Cream Units (vans&trailers)
Dad owns 4 and I work for him in one of them.


We'll usually just do a bit of repairing during the winter, if we've got cash to splash do a body swap onto newer vans.
Dunno what my Uncle does, probably earns enough to relax but my dads a workaholic so does HGV driving.. And I, well, relax until I need some more £££ to upgrade PC then I'll find a temporary job!
