I was in Perranporth in west Cornwall earlier this week. Weather cold enough to wear several layers.

I love it - the British holiday maker is a hardy beast. There they were T shirts and shorts eating ice creams - took me back to the days of the 99.

as wikipedia describes ...

A 99 Flake, 99 or ninety-nine[1] is an ice cream cone with a Cadbury Flake inserted in the ice cream. The term can also refer to the half-sized Cadbury-produced Flake bar, itself specially made for such ice cream cones, and to a wrapped product marketed by Cadbury “for ice cream and culinary use”.

Created at the Cadbury's factory in Birmingham, England, the flake was originally designed to be a cuboid and to fit into a wafer.[2] By 1930, Cadbury's was selling half-length Flake "99s" specifically for serving in an ice cream cone.

How about that ...
