The only one I recognized from the picture was Funny Feet. A few more from the link though.Purple Hayes wrote:Called Freaky Feet in the picture, don't remember any of them either, don't recognise the brand, maybe Irish?Heston wrote:Not even Funny Feet?

I remember a couple of the Walls ones like Funny Faces. I definately don't remember any of those football ones and I would have been mad for those.Marky Dread wrote:The only one I recognized from the picture was Funny Feet.

Re: Hey limeys
Deffo recall a few of them, but with different wrappers. Tangle Twister and Funny Feet are the two I remember the most - but also Twicer, Fat Frog, Dracula, Lemie Limie and Pink Elephant.
I guess we had a better stocked ice cream van round our way than some of you lot.

Re: Hey limeys
I doubt yours was any better stocked than anyone else. HB are an Irish company the UK variant is Walls Ice Cream and I remember the Walls brand much better. Lyons Maid were the other main brand and I remember Zoom's and Fab's much more.tosh wrote:Deffo recall a few of them, but with different wrappers.
