Oh! yes I remember the ice cream cart on Tooting Bec Common. It was always situated in the vicinity of the four way drinking fountain. Just across the main road was the Tooting Bec running track. The ice cream cart was mounted on a three wheeled bike. I often stopped to buy a cone on my way back from the 'bandstand' where I had seen a 'Punch & Judy' or magician show. Ice lollies were 2 pennies, a small cone was 3 pennies and a big cone was 6 pennies. Those were the lazy hazy days of summer.
