The recently smitten include: Errol (obviously), Lauren at No. 20, the Meals on Wheels lady, and several council workmen whom Magda battered with one of the stock of roadcones she keeps in the front yard.
Traffic cones, road signs, bottles, shoes and an old black and white car registration plate were among the rubbish found in a clean-up of Windermere in the Lake District.
Some of them were gazing with dull avarice at the store on the other side of the road, the Ideal Traders Ice Cream Parlor, where fat kids in T-shirts were licking vanilla cones.
