I have to confess that when I was a youngster (which wasn't that long ago really!!) there was nothing better then going to the van (ice cream van) buying a bottle of ginger (Irn Bru) and a pokey hat (ice cream cone) and sticking them both in a large glass. Heaven!!
Ahhhh music to my ears you must have spent a few years on the west coast with language like that?? a bottle of ginger, a pokey hat - surely only Glasgow (west of Scotland) terms, or am I wrong???

Blame is surely wrong - next to whisky it's Scotland's national drink!(tho I actually prefer whisky!!)


Cheers
