I had a theory that they were selling drugs, and I used to tell your Dad that. If you overheard us then you got what you deserved for earwigging! And if you really want a buzz, there are tons of nettles to be pulled up in the orchard here? An ice cream van used to drive around Ballybrack at eleven at night in Winter.

It worked until Elly learned to read (far to early) and saw in the paper that they were listed, I said that they had to print the list in case it rained! We got away with it for another few months! :D I also got away with saying that there were no programmes on TV when the sun shone so children could go out and play.

One local van's tune is 'The Crying Game' which is sort of odd. Nice trick, Grannymar, I'll remember that. The ominous tinkly ‘teddy bears picnic’ tune still gives me the willies.

Poor Rodney the local newsagent nearly fell under the counter when he heard me. It worked! My way to deal with the ‘I want’ was to say “My money was for food and Daddie’s money was for spending”!
