Aye old Frank with his barra and silver acme thunderer. There was also jobes vans. They had a small factory opposite the phoenix behind Walter Wilson.I remember that van in the top school yard. Sold massive 'Where's The Beef' chewies and those ice lollies with 2 sticks.
For Seaham there was also Frank Pacito and his hand cart, used a whistle to announce he was about. Kids used to help him push it up the streets who received a small ice cream in return.

I remember all that crack from him anarl. He's still alive and kicking, seen a pic of him posted on fb recently and looking really well..
It was Instant Whip, iirc. Vile stuff.Isn't Margaret Thatcher incorrectly credited as being one of the team who invented Mr Whippy ice cream? She certainly worked as food scientist for Lyons before she entered politics but some doubt has been thrown on what she actually worked on. Pie fillings has been suggested probably with more gravey and less meat
There was 2 came around our way, one was called Archies and the other was Billy Ingle.Commonly known as a "travelling shop".
