Leigh Mitchell… My Mum was an usherette/ice cream lady at The Regal in Uxbridge in the early 1960s. She wore a maroon coat dress with gold braid.
Jackie Willett… Leigh, my mum was too at the Gaiety cinema in Queens Road Hastings! That’s where my dad fell in love with her!!!
Lesley Bowles… My Nan was one at the local cinema (Gaiety) many years ago xx
Mick O’Dowd… Plain or choc?
Tim Moose Bruce… Albatross!
Dave Reece… Tim, D’ya get wafers with it?
Kev Towner… Tim, Badgers noses.
John Wilde… Crunchy frog
Phil Thornton… Penguin on a stick ?
Will Cornell… This same brand, or at least one with the same logo, is sold in Indonesia by guys pedaling an ice chest cart. And there’s a 3-bar company theme jingle you can hear from down the block.
Alan Esdaile… popular UK brand over here Will
Will Cornell… Probably same company , “corporate imperialism”–an enterprising Brit maybe saw the need for cold snacks in a hot sticky environment.. Although I was surprised to find out Chicken of the Sea was owned for a while by an Indonesian firm…it’s now a Thai owned company. Other common food cart vendors in Indonesia: Bread (“roti”), Milk and other dairy goods (“susu”) and soto–soup, usually meatballs. Each one has a theme song or sound that identifies it as they pedal or push around the neighborhoods. Walls is the only one with a prerecorded tune.
Jeff Belton… I remember this happening at the cinema, before the film started
Tracy Birrell… I remember her well. Especially at The Curzon Cinema in Norman Road.
