Ice cream scoop anyone?

[Andy_R]

Victorian ice cream scoops were called Penny Licks - you gave the Ice Cream vendor a penny in exchange for a glass topped with ice cream, had a lick and returned the empty glass to the seller.

They were banned in London in 1898, leading to the development of the sugar waffle cone. Strange wot you learn from Bargain Hunt...

Thinking about putting an offer in

It would look good hanging out my jersey back pocket ready for taking off the tyre when I puncture.

If you use it properly, it will certainly hang out of a "pocket"

It's ideal for those that are partial to haddock flavour ice cream.

There'll be a flap when he finds out what it is. He'll probably get some lip over it, perhaps even a clit round the ear when he realises his muff up. He'll be pubicly humiliated and forced to move to Tasmania.

Still, could be worse. One slip and he'd have been in the sheet!

I think the tool could be used to pry open the two halves of an ‘oyster’ wafer. At least the aroma would be authentic.

The Victorians also had chamber pots so the lady could see what she was doing

And if you put your ear close enough, you can hear the sea...
