"I can't believe we're doing this." Lottie said as she stood next to Tommo in JJ's garage looking at the van.
"Have you not got anything else, no?" Ash questioned JJ as he looked at the van.
"Nothing wrong with this. Low mileage, surprising amount of storage as well and most importantly, low profile, all right? Blends in unnoticed." JJ explained all the positives about the van.
"You said you had a van, dude. Said you had a fucking van-van is what you said." Vinnie said annoyed at the van.
"Yeah, but this is a flippin' van-van." JJ argued back.
"But this, it's inappropriate." Vinnie said as he waved in the direction of the van.
"It's a van. That's why they even call them ice cream vans, innit? Do you want it or not?" JJ said annoyed as he held up the van keys to Vinnie.
"Aw, yeah. All right." Vinnie said reluctantly as he took the keys.
"And erm...Gotta pump the brakes to make
them work." JJ informed him."Pump the brakes?" Vinnie questioned incredulously.
"Exactly." JJ said nodding his head as Lottie shook hers from behind them.
"How is that a thing?" Vinnie asked in disbelief, "Get in the van." Vinnie said to the others as he waited for Lottie to grab his hand.
"So ungrateful." JJ muttered as they all clambered into the van, watching as Vinnie helped Lottie up.

"Oke-a-doke." Tommo said as he looked through the binoculars from the ice cream van.
"What?" Lottie questioned from her seat on Vinnie's lap.
"None of you recognise the cop?" Tommo asked them as they all tried to look at the policeman guarding the door.
"Let me have a look through them." Vinnie said to Tommo, holding a hand out for the binoculars. "I thought that looked like him, dude, that's Carl Slater, man." Vinnie told them once he saw who it was.
"Who?" Ashley asked from the back of the ice cream van.
"Carl Slater. This snidey little twat we were at school with." Vinnie informed them on who it was.
"Vin's mortal enemy since year five." Dylan added on.
"Year four." Vinnie corrected, "Grassed me up for nicking milk off the float." Vinnie told them.
"He would get us in shit. So, Vince started a little rumour about Carl, that got a bit out of control, became an urban myth." Dylan told them with a chuckle as he thought about the rumour.
"What was the rumour?" Ash asked curiously.
"That Carl bummed his nan's dog." Tommo said to them.
"Spread like wildfire. Everyone believed it. Mud sticks 20 years later." Dylan said when they saw a man who was walking his dog avoid the policeman.
