BLAST FROM THE PAST FOR LICKERS

 Shades  of  Mr  Whippy 

The  strange sound of   Greensleeves  being  played  on  the streets of  Magnetic Island  brought  people  running  out . It  sounded like   Mr Whippy of  yesteryear.  It was , however ,   Frosty  Boy.

What  the  hell  are  you  doing  on the island ?  we  asked  the Cool Kid.  More importantly ,   are  you  going to be a permanent  fixture  on  the island ?  It turns out  Frosty  Boy is based   in Cairns  , is  holidaying on  Magnetic, so it was  decided to  give  the  islanders  an  unexpected treat . 

A  nextdoor neighbour  rushed out  and  was  soon licking a chocolate coated  icecream, saying it was just  like the ones he had  15 years ago.  People came out  of  their houses , smiled  and  gazed  longingly  at  the  van.
