The burning question of the day ........is it an iced lolley or a lolly ice ?

[gbb]

It was always an ice lolly fir us and everyone we knew...

Only place I have ever heard it called a lolly ice was when I lived in Liverpool.

Mind you they were also sweating golfballs and fading away to a warehouse.

So - you are agreeing that Lolly Ice is the right term then

thanks - glad that is cleared up

That’s one way to interpret it.

The other way is that lolly ice is used by a minority of people in the UK with most of the rest adopting ice lolly instead.

Both are correct but used in different areas of the country.

The Internet suggests that "lolly ice" is only a Liverpool thing. I am curious though; Do scousers also use the phrase "cream ice" for frozen dairy treats?

That is interesting, it being a scouser thing. So, as a scouser I can say I've never hear of ice cream being called cream ice.
NB
Could it be that us scousers are right and the rest of the world id is wrong ??

I can accept "lolly ice" as a quirky local variant.

"Icy pole"? No. Just plain wrong

 

[yello]

We called them ice blocks. I'd not heard of a lolly ice before.

What's a lolley? Surely it's a lolly? An ice lolly.

Ice lolly.

Correct

Ice Lolly, also ice pops were the ones in a long, thin, clear sealed plastic bag, and if you got an ice cream you always asked for monkey blood on it!

The long thin ones were tiptops where I came from.

A thought re scouser lolly ice may have something to do with proximity to Wales where the adjectives follow nouns in Cymraeg.

Ice lolly = loli iâ

 

[Ming the Merciless]

It is Lolly Ice

That was referring to a type of drug imported through Liverpool. Nowt to do with ice lollys

 

[Chromatic]

It’s ice lolly of course.

ice pops were the ones in a long, thin, clear sealed plastic bag

We called those tip tops around here.
