Ice Cream Wars in Blackburn, Lancashire

First there were too many holes in Blackburn, Lancashire (4,000 to be precise) but now it seems there are too many ice cream men vying for trade.

Recently there was an altercation between Mr Whippy and Mr Yummy as one tried to undercut the prices of the other. Things became frosty between the pair when Mr Yummy used a tyre lever to smash Mr Whippy's window. In retaliation Mr Whippy rammed Mr Yummy's van. Of course Mr Softee was nowhere to be seen, no doubt cowering some distance away. Someone must have dialled 99 (sorry, 999) as PC Plod arrived to try to thaw things between Yummy and Whippy.

It seems that the town isn't big enough for the both of them. They both sound a bit flakey to me!
