It's funny but we have little vans that come round, they don't look like ice cream vans as we know them, they are diddy vans and the man rings a bell.

You can go out with a dish and he fills it for you with your chosen ice cream...or he will sell you bulk ice creams in boxes or tubs or ice lolly's etc. There is a massive choice and they have special offers. Very quaint

Yep, we got them in Melbourne, hanging around some touristy areas and outside some schools when the kids leave.
