Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

This has been the bane of my lockdown. (#firstworldproblems)

There is an ice cream man who lives down our street. He has two vans and they are out from about 11am onwards.... I think he rotated vans so we get either ‘Popeye the sailor man’ or ‘Just one cornetto’. Today as a change I got Greensleeves for a bit...

What does your Ice Cream Van play near you? And can you still hear it even when it’s not there....??? *wibble*

We had O Sole Mio a few times yesterday. I won't belittle myself to sing the ice cream version.

Also Match of the Day here too.

But why? I've never had an ice cream at a football match...

Ours plays " A Ram Sam Sam", I noticed yesterday that the one up and down mum's road every half an hour played "Old McDonald". Both of these make a change from the usual tunes, but after the 3rd or so tie are equally annoying!

Ours also plays Match of the Day. Makes a change from the Greensleeves on the local van when I was a kid.

I'm staying at my Mum's and the local ice cream van here plays the Blue Peter theme at breakneck speed. He seems to drive at that speed too, so I'm not sure how he manages to sell anything.

I think ours plays Popeye the sailor man, but he’s not been yet this year.

It’s the turn of the Popeye Van today again!

Interested to hear there’s three blind mice out there.... A change would be nice ;-)
