- In the late 70s and early 80s, my Uncle Dave operated a few Tonibell ice cream vans in Bletchley and Milton Keynes (he also ran a burger bar in the greyhound stadium). In the summer holidays I could earn a few extra quid -by working one of the rounds. We didn't sell just ice cream, but also cigarettes, sweets, stockings, paracetamol and other necessities. It wouldn't be uncommon for there to be a queue waiting when I turned up, people who'd heard me coming a few streets away. Use of the hand bell was because, after a certain hour, electronic chimes weren't allowed by the council.
i used that ice cream van in Bletchley. i remember 1981 like it was yesterday.
Wow! So many people that I recognize from this. Brilliant posting. Tnx. Chris Mitten, Trevor's younger Brother. Gerald Griggs.. really nice young guy Leasky, Holden, Becky. . Having said that, great times growing up there.see Mark Holden as well.

Looking at the difference between this video and the ones on my channel is nuts. vand and chimes alike have changes so much since the 80s!!
This was the real world

I am an ice cream seller in Tunbridge Wells. Seems strange watching a video of it being done the year I was born but so enjoyed watching this.

No mobile phones, Facebook, instabollocks, twitter, tiktok, wokeness and all the other utter tripe we live with nowadays. Just young kids having a good time together. So glad I was born in 72 so I at least have those happy memories. Today is so bland and crap!
Yup
