Hurray for the Fan Man

Whenever we go out somewhere here in West Africa we look out for the 'fan Man'. Fan Milk ice creams are deliciously creamy, cold and very cheap (125CFA - about 25c or 18pence). They're sold from the insulated boxes fitted to the front of old bikes, and if you don't see one you listen out for the 'beep, beep' of their old bulb-type bike horns. The only real problem with them is the litter caused by people throwing the empty polythene tubes on the ground.
