'The feud between Mr Whippy, Mohammed Mulla, and his former employee Mr Creamy'

When an ice cream man employs somebody called Mr Creamy, he's always running the risk of having his business stolen

"Ice cream wars in Blackburn 99 arrested".

I heard there were hundreds and thousands involved

Police from all over East Lancs apparently drafted in to deal with the ice cream war. Even from as far away as Cone!

"I heard there were hundreds and thousands involved"

That figure seems a bit flakey to me.

Was something happening on Trafalgar street about 12.30. 5 police cars surrounding a car at the lights. Looked serious

theroyaldyche · Post by **theroyaldyche** » Thu Jul 04, 2019 6:30 pm

Police found the local ice cream man in his van covered in raspberry sauce, nuts and hundreds & thousands. They thought he topped himself…

Armed police turned up with Magnums.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Thu Jul 04, 2019 8:21 pm

Police appealing for witnesses, as evidence wafer thin.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Thu Jul 04, 2019 8:23 pm

One witness just turned up ...

Well officer, I had just left my local betting shop - sorbet - when it all kicked off.

Clarets4me · Post by **Clarets4me** » Thu Jul 04, 2019 8:34 pm

Lancashire Telegraph reporting it as a " Scoop " !

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Thu Jul 04, 2019 8:35 pm

I think these Ice Cream related jokes are all "Screwball"

bfcjg · Post by **bfcjg** » Thu Jul 04, 2019 8:41 pm

It kicked of when somebody was heard saying the old phrase Walls have ears, and rumours spread that the ice cream was no longer halal.

Nothing to see really, just the police putting a few cones out. As usual, the media whipped it up.

They have also had arguments in front of parents and children.

The feud between Mr Whippy, Mohammed Mulla, and his former employee Mr Creamy, Jahangir Rashid, came to a head with confrontations outside two mosques.

Sounds like the two of them have a frosty relationship.
