Some interesting data has been obtained in a poll of ice cream vendors regarding questions raised by the nature of the following verse:A photographer and saxophonist
He really was a dandy
But of his tales I’d urge you all
A pinch of salt keep handy.
Queueing up for ice-cream
was a mixed-race girl called Shirley
When she went in her hair was straight
After it was curly!
-The Saga of Pat and Davy (By Alex Archibald Berger)
The verse refers, of course, to carnal pleasures enjoyed by Bishop Bonkers during his short but spirited employment as an ice cream vendor. A survey of former and present vendors reveals that ice cream vans have proven ideal for brief sexual encounters, having plenty of room inside and conveniently shuttered windows to enhance privacy. "It may be a bit cold inside but that don't stop things from getting quite hot with the right girl," observed one respondent.

He told me he was a Lord and that it wouldn't hurt! And all I wanted was a Strawberry Mivvi.
I can confirm that Bonky was pretending to be an 'English Lord' at this time 'Shirley'.
In fact, during the early 1970's when he was living in his Holloway Road flat, one of the lliases he employed was "Peter Lord".

Does this have any connection with the fact that most ice cream vans in England (though not the one in your picture) are called 'Mr. Whippy'?
