I fthe ice cream van doesnt visit your street and you see one locally you should just ask them to add your street to their run. A friend dropped by one day when the ice cream man was here and asked him and now he drops by there every day too.

Is there any way to stop them from coming down your street?

(Hate them!!!!!)

The ice cream van man is dating my neighbor. His van is always parked within eyeshot of my front window. It makes living with a three year old a greek version of hell.

Gotta make a living in all fairness. But at the same time when they do arrive it is like a fire engine with a bad tune. The tunes are so loud it is distorted.

I think they should tone down the volume a bit, people are not deaf! Other than that they are ok.

Heard one today on st laurences grove in clontarf around 6 playing the match of the day theme song, funny to hear.

I can't stand the ice cream van, music is always way too loud and most of the products look dodgey.

Don't mind them TBH, but not at feckin 4 PM just before the kids get their dinner. :mad:

Haha, crazy thought: a 'veggie van'. Playing the same type of dingaling loud music. Once the kids all run out and line up they are offered lovely veggies steamed and covered in low fat sauces to make them more yummy.

Cue parents dragging kids out to said vans for veggies. If nothing else it will put the kids on edge at least;)

I tell my little man that they play the music when they have run out of ice cream .
I know, I am a bad father!

I don't have kids but I have small neices and nephews and my sister curses the ice-cream man, says he drives onto her road at all hours in the night and causes havoc in the house, I've seen him do it myself, I'm talking 10pm on a summers evening, I know it's still bright out but kids still have a bed time (well most do anyway :rolleyes:) bit inconsiderate imo.. Whatever about driving onto the road, fair enough, mammys and daddys like an ould 99er' now and again but does he have to blair the stupid siron thingy.. fecker

so do 'ladies of the night', that doesn't mean it's ok for them to do it noisily outside your house when it's your kids' bedtime, now does it ?

Our local one is great.

the van would pull up and play the music directly outside our house just as the baby went to sleep, queue baby waking up and crying. (Not that she knows what the ice cream van is).

Anyway, I popped out one day and asked would she mind not playing the music outside the house as the baby was asleep.
Now she plays the music coming around the corner and turns it off before getting to our house.

Happy us, sleeping Baby.

I thought instantly of that Larson cartoon with the house cat looking longingly out the window at a crash between trucks carnying flightless birds and mice.

Wish I could find it...
