When the ice cream man came around on his three wheeler bike he would ring his bell and shout "Ice Cream".We used to shout all kinds of things before he shouted "Ice Cream" such as we would shout "what do you feed your mother on" to which he would shout "Ice Cream" which left a gang of kids laughing at him.Another one was what do you take to bed at night to which he would shout ice cream.I'm sure he was glad to get out of our street.

The last bond I bought on a British ship was in 1983 in Rotterdam, and the prices were not much above what they had been 20 years previously which was 38 shillings a thousand or 5 cartons. There were only 9 of us on board so went around and saw what anyone wanted and bought and handed out. Unfortuanetley the second engineer ordered 6 bottles of spirits also. Arriving Great Yarmouth instead of putting the unconsumed bottles back in the bond decided to keep out, he was caught by the rummagers, I also had tobacco over the odds and was also fined. So my name was in the black book for some time and could always expect a rummaging crew on board coming from the continent. JS
My Mum used to smoke 'Craven A' It was a red and white packet with a picture of a cat's face on the front. Best of all was the tag line: 'Designed to Prevent Sore Throats'. As if !!

The Oz gov in an effort to reduce smoking has restricted the number of smokes you can bring in duty free to just 50 per person. Bt grog now at 2.5 litres perperson.
