And Finally - World's first floating ice cream van

Fancy an ice-cream while swimming or sailing or boating or surfing or, umm, jet skiing? The world's first amphibious ice cream van is touring Britain's waterways.

 As per Daily Mail, HMS Flake 99, chimes Rod Stewart's We Are Sailing, was created to mark National Ice Cream Week, and highlight how vans are being driven off the roads by soaring fuel costs and council red tape which bans vans from housing estates, parks and outside schools because of concerns about noise pollution and childhood obesity.

 

It started off in Blackpool, made its way along the Thames and, after a tour of Britain's beaches, is due to sail across the Channel and on to the canals of Venice next year.
