[Brighton] Beach Hut / Ice Cream Wars

[BN9 BHA]

(My kids take on it was that Beach Hut Woman was "A Karen" and that I should have filmed it and put it on the internet. FFS.)

I had a lucky escape there as I was just about to take a swig of tea when I read this.

Personally I would not buy ice cream from a van . For two reasons , almost all these vans are unlicensed so are taking away business from local businesses, secondly because they are unlicensed they don’t have to bother complying with health and safety rules . You may think how is that going to effect ice creams - actually it does because these vans make most of their profit from selling Mr Wipeys which is a poor quality powder full of additives and colouring that is then mixed with a milk liquid in the machine that produces the ice cream .

The nozzle that the ice cream comes out of should be cleaned every few minutes to ensure no build up of bacteria , I doubt they get cleaned that regularly !

From a health point of view , it’s also far better to eat a reasonable quality ice cream made with cream , eggs etc the type sold by Morocco’s etc rather than a powder variety .

I understand if you live in the sticks you might not have much choice for ice cream when you are going for a walk but there’s no excuse in Hove , there’s plenty of places along the seafront .

Have you moved on from being a property expert?

I don't sell ice cream in my seafront shop, yet, but others nearby do. Imagine Pride 2019 and after 364 days of paying rent, rates and other expenses the shops stock up on ice creams only for a van to park yards from their shops and take all the trade. There was almost a major punch up before the van got the hint and shifted. But it happens a lot. Street sellers with these popping toys (2021 trend) who have zero costs involved. Walk along Brighton prom and see the sellers with zero cost selling stuff meanwhile my costs keep going up.

Similar in Worthing however, its mostly pop up coffee sellers. I don't drink Coffee but looking at the queues that appear wherever they pitch up I can see the market that is there. Is Coffee that addictive that so many people have to walk around with a cup wedged permanently in their hand ?

Pedant alert to all those who say spelling doesn't matter:

A post complaining about Health and Safety, bacteria build up and cleaning properly......selling Mr Wipeys

Plus another buying ice cream from Morroco’s.

I don't drink Coffee

We are on first name terms with the ice cream man that drives around our way, when my sons saw him they would ask -can we have some money for Charlie?

Haven't been able to face having a Mr Whippy after a slightly off taste to one in Hastings a couple of years ago. Binned it rather than finish it to be safe despite the man in the van insisting it was OK, but was still wiped out with some major...um...discomfort...for the rest of the weekend.

From reading some of your posts you sound like you think you are.

This is good old British free market economics at work.

If you vote Tory, you get Tory, including ice-cream vans blighting the prom in clement weather. Mr Whippy was invented by Thatcher after all.

Just wait until Deliveroo fit their mopeds with their own ice cream dispensers. You ain’t seen nothing yet BHA (Beach Hut Association).

I guess the only way to measure with any certainty who people vote for in an area is to see which party represents the constituency, last time I checked Hove was a Labour seat…

Well I’ve bought and sold 15 properties in the last 35 years , made a profit on all but 1. Not sure if that makes me an expert but certainly I do have a fair bit of experience both here and in
NY .

Oh for the days of my youth in the 70s. Labour Government and no ice cream vans.

Edit; hang on a minute I’ve just remembered, we did have ice cream vans, we bought ice creams from them because everything wasn’t about politics. This is confusing.

Always get our ice creams from there when strolling along the prom.
