Concerns over pollution have seen ice-cream vans banned from 40 streets in the London borough of Camden, with council officials mounting patrols. Westminster has also been cracking down on idling vehicles, particularly diesel-engined ones, which emit black carbon and nitrogen dioxide.

So in London you can by a 99 (?!?) from a Mr. Whippy truck?
What language are they speaking over there?

Some obscure dying dialect. Isn't English wonderful?

How about postal delivery. UPS and Fed Ex vans..... All the starts and stops would save TONS on delivery costs and pollution. Perfect model as they can charge every night.

They also have set routes so range anxiety should not be a factor.

99 = Soft serve ice cream in a cone, with a Cadbury's flake sticking out of the top.
A Cadbury's flake is a twix sized chocolate bar, made from folded chocolate.

Both are delicious.
