Terrible weather & sunshine

It has been a poor week weather wise, however, lets stay optimistic for the bank holiday weekend. It will soon be "back to school" and "dark nights"

We will be out and about on Saturday for  the Poynton Show.

Wedding in Buxton

The poynton whippy was unable to visit Poynton today as we were attending a wedding at Hargate Hall in Buxton. we served around 120 guests prior to the ceremony and one cheeky chappie even came back for three 99's!! he knows who he is.

Hargate Hall, Buxton Derbyshire

The forecast is dry and bright for tomorrow so it should be business as usual for Poynton kids and residents and their ice cream!!

The great British weather

Funny old week weather wise. Made it to Poynton on Thursday but spent two hours under a tree waiting for the storm to pass. When it continued to bucket down, headed off to the Grove to meet king whippy for a coffee, again, waiting for the storm to pass. At last gave up and returned to depot - When - you guessed it - the sun came out. Took Friday off in disgust.
Back to Poynton Saturday and it was summer again.
Will be away Sunday, attending a morris dancing championship, all being well - back on Monday

East Cheshire Council promises crackdown

The newly formed East Cheshire Council have promised a crackdown on rogue traders, licensing and enforcement officers are to be joined with their Environmental Health colleagues in stamping out illegal traders who are operating with apparent impunity throughout the borough.
They have been working hard for several weeks now preparing their evidence.
It is in the public interest that all street traders are licensed, and they meet the minimum hygiene standards required by law.
 Illegal street traders pose a risk to public health as they operate unchecked. They are also defrauding the public purse by avoiding the license fees paid by bona fide traders.

Ice cream jokes

A body was found in the back of an ice cream van, it was covered in hundreds and thousands, the police think he topped himself.


The ice cream man was away for six weeks, I was sad to see him "a wafer" so long.

What"s a chav"s favourite ice cream flavour? Mint.

 "So I went down my local ice-cream shop, and said I want to buy an ice-cream'. He said Hundreds & thousands?' I said 'We'll start with one.' He said 'Knickerbocker glory?' I said 'I do get a certain amount of freedom in these trousers, yes.' 

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split. 

The waitress asked kindly, ‘Crushed nuts?’

‘No,’ he replied, ‘Arthritis.’

 

BOOM BOOM!!

Tufty says take care going to the Ice cream van (Video)

Children and drivers should always take great care around the ice cream van as this safety video shows (some mums and dads) will have been members of the "Tufty club".

Remember  to take care, look what happened to chuffers when he got too excited at Poynton Whippy's arrival yesterday.

Chuffers fell off his bike today

He wasn't seriously hurt, but seemed to be enjoying the kind attention of a concerned elderly lady who fussed over him.
For the Poynton whippy it was business as usual, serving ice creams, sweets and drinks to the parents and kids of Poynton.
