Ice Cream Van conversion by Morrison Industries |
◊ 2019-03-28 23:06 |
Maybe “Ice Cream Van” is redundant? |
◊ 2019-03-28 23:13 |
Nein. |

There's a Van Morrison joke to be had here... |
◊ 2019-03-28 23:30 |
Both dsl and I already milked this one before, but yeah... it's tempting. |
◊ 2019-03-29 04:49 |
Tempted to dispute it being a Van Morrison because it doesn't have its back turned to the audience... |

Now something for IMIceCreamPriceDb Due the location and the general British ice cream price structure I say 2 Pounds minimum per scoop. Any other bids? -- Last edit: 2019-04-01 00:41:14 |

This is a soft icecream van. There ain’t no scoops, it comes out of a nozzle straight into the cornet. It also bears little resemblance to proper ice cream. I bought 2 litres of Sainsbury’s Cornish Dairy ice cream yesterday, £3.45, also 18 x 440ml Stella Artois £15.00. Before you all say “what are you doing drinking that rubbish?” it’s good enough for a thirst quencher, and it’s cheap. I paid £3.85 for a pint of bitter last Wednesday in a local gastro pub. -- Last edit: 2019-04-01 09:40:08 |

That's not real ice cream, that's just the rainforest-destroying palm oil junk. |

@jfs: yes, that's just soft ice - but the lower quality makes its price even more grotesque. And your beer is (from the German view) very expensive. Over here the price for a crate with 20 bottles à 0,5 liter are around 11-12€ for mainstream industrial brands. Premium stuff (industrial made, not craft beer) is about 15€ and the no-name Supermarket stuff (often badge engineered premium beer) is about 6-7€ per crate. Of course you cannot compare supermarket offers with pub prices. P.S. you know, that your beer comes from the nasty EU? btw: is anything said about the alled post-brexit-beer-prices? In Germany the beer price is an important topic. Not as important as the fuel price, but more important than the price for milk and bread. -- Last edit: 2019-04-01 11:37:32 |

I know that Stella Artois sold in U.K. is brewed by A.B. Inbev Ltd in Luton, which is only temporarily in the EU. The price of beer in U.K. is decided mainly by the tax levied by the government, on 5% lager, the tax at present is £0.95 per litre. If you want a beer here you either brew it yourself or suck the mop for the tax. At least the beer I had last Weds was an artisan brewed pint of Joule’s, brewed in Shropshire these days but still excellent. https://www.joulesbrewery.co.uk And I drank it in here:- https://thesevenstarsbrocton.co.uk -- Last edit: 2019-04-01 12:47:56 |

So there is a special beer tax in UK? In Germany we have, added to the usual alcohol tax an extra tax for sparkling wines. This tax was founded in 1902 by emperor Wilhelm II (Vicky's first grandson) for the payment of a specific topic. Although this topic lies since nearly 100 years at the dsl-islands: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuttling_of_the_German_fleet_at_Scapa_Flow this tax was never cancelled... We have a coffee-tax, too. For that reasons you see in Dutch border regions always Germans, packing dozens of coffee packets (sometimes coffee shop packets, too ) in their cars. |

I don’t drink coffee, so I don’t know about tax on it. As you see above, 5% alcohol beers are taxed £0.95 per litre. Weaker beers slightly less. Plus vat of course. https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-shopping/alcohol-tobacco -- Last edit: 2019-04-01 13:27:46 |

Ingo : of course the tax was never cancelled, it brings money to the government.. -- Last edit: 2019-04-01 14:21:17 |
