Ice Cream Man

In Stratford upon Avon Shakespeare's image is used to sell just about anything and everything. There are Shakespeare hotels, Bards Walk shopping arcade, Playwright's this, Poet's that etc etc.

This ice cream barge is moored permanently near the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and says on the side

" 'Do you look for ice creams and treats here you rude rascals' HenryVIII 5.4.9-10 ish"
When of course as everyone knows ( ! ) it should be " ' Do you look for ale and cakes here you rude rascals' Henry VIII 5.3. 9-10"

So this is an illustration on the side of the barge, of Shakespeare with Poor Yorick's skull in one hand and a raspberry ripple in the other.
