My regular van plays the theme from Blue Peter, and on the odd occasion, plays the theme from....

Wait for it....

Blue Peter. The only other one i remember was when i lived in Boston (Lincs!!!) a few years back & that was Teddy bears picnic!! I never actually saw the van as i lived overlooking the river Witham but heard it all the time.
     Any Bostonians know if they still play it? 8-)

  My Mum used to tell me that they only play the tune when they`ve sold out of ice-cream!
