He would then stand ringing the bell shouting "Pikelets" on the top of his voice. On another note another bloke would also turn up in the summer months on a bike with 2 wheels at the front and one at the back, there was a insulated box between the front wheels with ice cream in, he would blow a whistle and shout " Walls Ice Cream".
