Why....why...does the ice cream van in my town always turn up in the pissing rain/thunderstorm/snow/hail and when it's sunny he shows up once in a blue moon. I mean surely logic dictates that ppl will want an ice-cream when it's HOT, not when it's chucking it down.

He is actually the most unlucky man in the world! Bad weather follows him from town to town. His name is Albert.

If you eat an ice cream when it is rain/thunderstorm/snow/hail then it makes the outside world feel warmer and therefore has a more productive effect.

There is a simple answer for this...

When the weather is hot he drives around the areas he knows he'll get more money. When the weather is crap, he'll drive around every single place hoping for someone to at least buy a packet of crisps from him.

And anyway, why the hell would you wait for the ice-cream man to turn up, your local newsagents sell the exact same products and more!

'cos you wouldn't really think oh I'd like an ice-cream, until you hear the tinkling of his bell (or p.a. system). Shocked

...... and he parks outside your house as well. Razz
