Another childhood memory.
In Oxford Street?
Long gone but never forgotten.

went to Marrocos today and took my Granddaughter, could not believe that they no longer sell Whippy ice cream. just now sell home made scoop. Have to say that although theirs are okay they always seem watery compared to other ice creams Fucciardi in Eastbourne for example leave them for dead

Yes I remember it well...just up from TSB and the PDSA.
Had little bits of ice in their ice creams which made them taste nicer.
I also remember the Cafe on the corner- was it Knowles or Sarah's back then?

I lived in Brighton for 45 years and I've never heard of it.

Seem to remember they were. Memory is telling me it was an elderly Italian husband and wife.
My mum and dad would shop at the Open Market, then go into the big Co-op cos they had a co-op "divi" card, I used to be fascinated by the tubes behind the tills.
They would put the payments in the capsule and it used to disappear up a tube then snake across the ceiling somewhere.
Then it was the highlight of the trip, down to Pips for a lovely ice cream cornet.

Wasn't Gizzis on the seafront near West Street? Great 99s, memories of the family getting Sunday afternoon ice creams aplenty.
